| 4X3 Keypad |
 Posted: Fri Jun 25, 2004 3:09 pm |

I need to connect a 4X3 keypad to a picdem2+ dev board. Hopefully ican do this without changing the ccs keypad driver does any one have a diagram of the circuitry required (if any) and to what pins i need to conect to. I have tried to figure it out from the CCS driver but i don't want to break anything. i believe that the keypad can share the same port as the LCD.
Any help is greatly appreciated as i am a beginer that has been making good progress up until now.
Thanks

The PicDem 2 Plus manual has a schematic in Appendix A.
http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/51275b.pdf
It shows that pins B1-B7 are free. The CCS keypad driver can
be configured to use those pins.
To configure the CCS driver to use Port B, you need to define
a constant before you include the driver file. Do it as shown below.
Also, you must enable the pull-ups for Port B. Put the line to do
that at the start of main() as shown below.
#define use_portb_kbd TRUE // This line tells kbd.c to use Port B
#include <kbd.c>
main()
{
port_b_pullups(TRUE);
// Put other code here. (Code from EX_LCDKB.C)
}
Keep in mind that because the CCS keypad driver uses pins B6 and B7,
I don't think you'll be able to use the ICD2 to debug the program.
(Because the ICD2 uses those pins). But you can use ICD2 as
a programmer. Just program the PIC, and disconnect the ICD2
cable, and press reset (or cycle the power switch) to run the program. |

To modify the CCS keypad driver, kbd.c, so it will work with Port F
(presumably on an 18F8722), do the following:
1. Make a copy of the kbd.c file, and name it kbd_portf.c, and edit the
new file as listed in steps 2, 3, and 4.
2. Edit the port address for Port D in kbd.c, so it's now the address for Port F (0xF85), as shown below:
| Quote: |
#if defined use_portb_kbd
#byte kbd = 0xF81
#else
#byte kbd = 0xF85 // Register address for Port F
#endif
|
3. Change the 'set_tris_d' statement to 'set_tris_f' in the kbd_portf.c file,
as shown below:
| Quote: | #if defined use_portb_kbd
#define set_tris_kbd(x) set_tris_b(x)
#else
#define set_tris_kbd(x) set_tris_f(x)
#endif |
4. Make sure that the line to enable use of port B is commented out.
It should look like this:
| Quote: | | // #define use_portb_kbd TRUE |
5. Edit the #include statement in your program to use the new driver:
| Code: | | #include <kbd_portf.c> |
