project: interface to a matrix 4 x 4 keypad
Theory of functioning: The shown example is for a 16 keypad GREYHILL 86JB2-203. Unfortunately, there is no standard connectors for keypads, and each model has a different hardware wiring, and a different control subroutine.
HARDWARE DIAGRAM AND INTERFACE WITH EDUPIC 16F84 MODULE The keypad is organized as 4 rows (X1...X4), and 4 columns (Y1...Y4), so that each key is identified by the intersection of a row and a column. In the diagram you may see the asignment of each signal to PORT B of 16f84. The subroutine that controls the keypad has 2 sections: the "detection" part, in which the programs detects that a key was pushed, and the "identification" part in which the programs tells the ASCII code of the key that was pushed. The technique to detect a pushed key, is to scan columns Y1...Y4, writing 0111, 1011, 1101, 1110 , and then reading rows X1...X4 each time. If no key is pushed, the reading in X1...X4 will be "1111". But when a key is pushed, the reading in X1..X4 will be different to "1111". Next step is to convert the row-column code of the key to its ASCII code through a "look up table". Below you can see the relationship between the row-column code and the ASCII code of each of the keys. 11101110

CONECTION OF KEYPAD TO EDUPIC MODULE: the header 16x of EDUPIC has a diagram of signal as shown. You must use pins 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16. Please note that the numbering of the pins in the HEADER is different from the IC DIL standard. Even pins are aligned in left column of header and odd pins are aligned in right column. Also remember that this particular diagram is good only for the the GREYHILL keypad model 86JB2-203. If a different keypad is connected, then the diagram and the look up table will change.
HARDWARE DIAGRAM FOR HEADER 16 X TEST PROGRAMS: Several test programs for this keypad are listed. Only the .ASM source program is given, so you must assemble before loading in EDUPIC. We suggest starting with version 1, and then go on util you reach version 4, because the complexity of each routine increases. The files are:
