Problem in implementation of flex_kbd.c

[Andask]

I'm new in this branch of programming and have tried to develop a function that would work more or less as follows.

This would read an array of keys using the library flex_kbd.c

The value could range from 1 to 3 digit, eg 5, 73 or 167.
When the # key is pressed the value typed so far would be assigned to a variable and it would be returned, since the function would be of type integer.

Example of use.
read_kbd value = ();

I'm trying to do this two weeks ago, yes ... I have not done well with this guy flex_kbd.c: P

Has anyone done something similar?

The flex keypad driver uses software polling, similar to the CCS kbd.c
driver. My impression is that you want a function similar to getc()
for the UART, except that it's for a keypad.

This post might be useful to you:

It takes push-button code that also requires polling, and it does the
polling in an interrupt routine. Then it takes the button press (if any)
and puts it in a circular buffer (similar to the CCS example Ex_sisr.c).
You then call the get_button() routine to get a button press.

You could modify that code to work with the flex keypad driver instead.
