4X3 Keypad
PostPosted: Fri Jun 25, 2004 3:09 pm     Reply with quote

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>
