It initializes a particular port for working with keypad. A global variable keypad Port must be defined before using this function. Port need to be initialized before calling this function. This function reads key when a key is pressed and it returnsnumber corresponding (1 16) to the pressed key. If no key is pressed, it will return 0. When this function is called, it waits until some key is pressed and released.

When released it returns number corresponding (1 16) to the pressed key. If no key is pressed, it will return 0. If more than one key is pressed, the function waits until all pressed keys are released and returns number corresponds to first pressed key. Port need to be initialized before calling this function. Fordemonstrationof the working, here we will use a 4*3 keypad. The pressed key and number of times a particular key is pressed in displayed in LCD Display. unsigned short kp, cnt, oldstate = 0; char txt[6]; // Keypad module connections char keypadPort at PORTC; // End Keypad module connections // LCD module connections sbit LCD_RS at RB1_bit; sbit LCD_EN at RB0_bit; sbit LCD_D4 at RB4_bit; sbit LCD_D5 at RB5_bit; sbit LCD_D6 at RB6_bit; sbit LCD_D7 at RB7_bit; sbit LCD_RS_Direction at TRISB1_bit; sbit LCD_EN_Direction at TRISB0_bit; sbit LCD_D4_Direction at TRISB4_bit; sbit LCD_D5_Direction at TRISB5_bit; sbit LCD_D6_Direction at TRISB6_bit; sbit LCD_D7_Direction at TRISB7_bit; // End LCD module connections void main() { cnt = 0; // Reset counter Keypad_Init(); // Initialize Keypad Lcd_Init(); // Initialize Lcd Lcd_Cmd(_LCD_CLEAR); // Clear display Lcd_Cmd(_LCD_CURSOR_OFF); // Cursor off Lcd_Out(1, 1, "1"); Lcd_Out(1, 1, "Key :"); // Write message text on Lcd Lcd_Out(2, 1, "Times:"); do { kp = 0; // Reset key code variable // Wait for key to be pressed and released do //kp = Keypad_Key_Press(); // Store key code in...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
