Manipulating keypad presses

[dbachman]

Hello:

I am scanning a keyad and am receiving and converting the rows and columns to numbers. I am wanting to display the numbers from 0 to 360 on an LCD. It is working as I am using a for next loop to put the key presses into an array. I then multiply the first one by a hundred and so on. But, if I only enter a 2 digit number I have to lead it with a zero, Is there and easier way?

Let me clarify this a little: I actually want to save say the number 320 in a variable after getting it from a keypad one press at a time and use it to control PWM cycles.

Thanks, Don

Not sure to follow you but let's see.

' Pseudo, for entertainement only or you'll be changed to a pumpkin at midnight
Number=0
Duty=0

DoIt:
LCDOUT $FE,1,"Number=",dec number
Call KeyPad Routine
IF KeyPad Scan routine Return a valid single decimal number entry Then
Number = (Number *10) + KeyPadValue
'
' Some test to make sure you're in the max duty range
'
GOTO DoIt
ENDIF

If Number !=Duty then
Duty=Number
HPWM 1,freq, Number
endif

GOTO DoIt

Actually I am using your keypad scan routine.

I am using a
for x = 1 to 3
gosub getkey
array[x] = keypress
next x
total = array[x]*100 + array[x]*10 + array[x]

But I have to make 3 entries in the array to satisfy the for next loop. So I have to use a leading zero if I enter anything less than 100. It works fine its just a pain.

No you don't need, read my example above again, there's this IF THEN line after the Keypad reading...

Steve,

I guess I am still a little confused .

If I go get a keypress and I just pushed 3 for example. How is that moved three decimal places (multiplied by a 100) and then added to the next keypress which must be moved over 2 places?
I will study it some more but I am not "seeing" it yet.

Thanks for taking the time.

How many key do you have on your Keypad? any left to be used as "enter" key?

[dbachman]

I have 16 keys. I am using "E" or I think #14 as enter now for another routine.

A small hint

if keypress<=9 then 
Number=(Number*10)+KeyPress
GOTO DoIt
Endif

I finally got it........

Thanks Steve
