Keypad and DT's Instant Interrupts

DOH! I had a detailed question but it got cleared. So here's the short-short version.

Has enybody included a 4x4 keypad routine in with DT's instant interrupts? It would most likely use port B change to trigger. I found forum references to keypad and interrupts but since I'm using the elapsed timer routine anyway I think I should stick with the "instant interrupts" technique. Can it be done with a change in variable value?

You can still use a Timer interrupt with my KEYPAD.BAS routine. Just use the DEFINE SCAN_ONCE 1 in your settings.

i've attach the latest version... just in case of.

Thanks for the quick response.
I have tried the code and it works. However there is an issue. I have a 4x4 setup but it acts like a 4x3 keypad. I can get digits 1 through 12. If I change the define as below to 4 col then nothing works. Im still checking but I think this is the same hardware setup I had before and it worked as a 4x4. Any suggestions?

TRISB = %11110000 'PortB first four bits outputs second four bits inputs

include "KeyPad.bas"

DEFINE KEYPAD_ROW 4 ' 4 ROW keypad
DEFINE KEYPAD_ROW_PORT PORTB ' ROW port = PORTB
DEFINE KEYPAD_ROW_BIT 4 ' ROW0 = PORTB.4
'DEFINE KEYPAD_COL 3 ' 3 COL keypad
DEFINE KEYPAD_COL 4 ' 4 COL keypad
DEFINE KEYPAD_COL_PORT PORTB ' COL port = PORTB
DEFINE KEYPAD_COL_BIT 1 ' COL0 = PORTB.1
DEFINE KEYPAD_DEBOUNCEMS 20 ' debounce delay = 20 50 mSec
DEFINE SCAN_ONCE 1

OPTION_REG.7=0 ' Enable internal crap pull-up :D
ADCON1=7 ' disable ADCs
PORTB = 0 '

ByteA var byte '

mmm, it's working here as suppose to. Using your code above on a 16F877, i tried with...

Code:

 @ __CONFIG _XT_OSC & _LVP_OFF INCLUDE "C:\PBP_PROG\INCLUDE_ROUTINES\KeyPad.bas" INCLUDE "c:\PBP_PROG\EASYPIC4\LCD4.bas" DEFINE KEYPAD_ROW 4 ' 4 ROW keypad DEFINE KEYPAD_ROW_PORT PORTB ' ROW port = PORTB DEFINE KEYPAD_ROW_BIT 4 ' ROW0 = PORTB.4 DEFINE KEYPAD_COL 3 ' 4 COL keypad DEFINE KEYPAD_COL_PORT PORTB ' COL port = PORTB DEFINE KEYPAD_COL_BIT 1 ' COL0 = PORTB.0 DEFINE KEYPAD_DEBOUNCEMS 20 ' debounce delay = 20 50 mSec DEFINE SCAN_ONCE 1 OPTION_REG.7=0 ' Enable internal crap pull-up ByteA VAR BYTE PAUSE 500 LCDOUT $FE,1,"PRESS ANY KEY" Start: @ READKEYPAD _ByteA IF ByteA THEN LCDOUT $FE,$C0,REP " "\2,$FE,$C0, DEC ByteA ENDIF GOTO Start

make sure you have disable the LVP mode and there's no faulty I/Os

I will check further. I am using the f877 pic. Note that I tried changing this line to "4". Is that wrong?

DEFINE KEYPAD_COL 3 ' 4 COL keypad

Looking at it now I realize that its probably 0 to 3 which is 4 states or columns. So the above line should stay as it is?

using the previous but changing KEYPAD_ROW or KEYPAD_COL number it always work for me. Yeah, even a 1X1 keypad work... wooohoo how handy it is :D

Now, using a TIMER0 interrupt and DT-INT14, it looks like

Code:

 @ __CONFIG _XT_OSC & _LVP_OFF INCLUDE "C:\PBP_PROG\INCLUDE_ROUTINES\KeyPad.bas" INCLUDE "c:\PBP_PROG\EASYPIC4\LCD4.bas" INCLUDE "C:\PBP_PROG\INCLUDE_ROUTINES\DT_INTS-14.bas" INCLUDE "C:\PBP_PROG\INCLUDE_ROUTINES\ReEnterPBP.bas" DEFINE KEYPAD_ROW 4 ' 4 ROW keypad DEFINE KEYPAD_ROW_PORT PORTB ' ROW port = PORTB DEFINE KEYPAD_ROW_BIT 4 ' ROW0 = PORTB.4 DEFINE KEYPAD_COL 3 ' 4 COL keypad DEFINE KEYPAD_COL_PORT PORTB ' COL port = PORTB DEFINE KEYPAD_COL_BIT 1 ' COL0 = PORTB.0 DEFINE KEYPAD_DEBOUNCEMS 20 ' debounce delay = 20 50 mSec DEFINE SCAN_ONCE 1 ASM INT_LIST macro INT_Handler TMR0_INT, _TMR0Interrupt, PBP, yes endm INT_CREATE ENDASM OPTION_REG=%00000100 ' Enable weak-pull ups ' Prescaler assigned to Timer0 ' rate 1:32 ByteA VAR BYTE TMR0IF VAR INTCON.2 PAUSE 500 LCDOUT $FE,1,"PRESS ANY KEY" @ INT_ENABLE TMR0_INT Start: IF ByteA THEN LCDOUT $FE,$C0,REP " "\2,$FE,$C0, DEC ByteA ENDIF GOTO Start TMR0Interrupt: @ READKEYPAD _ByteA TMR0=0 @ INT_RETURN

and it's still working.

do a I/O test with LEDs and push button to see if there's any faulty.

KEYPAD_COL 3 really set the KeyPAd to 3 column, DEFINE KEYPAD_COL_BIT 1 will imply you're connected to PORTB.1, PORTB.2, PORTB.3

same for rows, DEFINE KEYPAD_ROW 4, 4 rows, DEFINE KEYPAD_ROW_BIT 4, so PORTB.4, PORTB.5, PORTB.6 and PORTB.7.

The problem is that PORTB.0 not detecting

I swapped B.o and B.1 keypad lines - problem remains with B.0

Changed to another 16f877 chip - problem remains with B.0

I noticed your last post about
DEFINE KEYPAD_COL_BIT ' COL 1 = PORTB.1.

I am connected to PORTB pins 0 through 3. I had the setting above and changed it to:
DEFINE KEYPAD_COL_BIT 0 ' COL0 = PORTB.0

PORTB.0 now works but B.3 now does not.
It's like I'm scanning only 3 bits

0-3 is 4 bits, so you have to configure to 4 COLUMNs.

maybe 4 colums and 3 row now?

on the other hand my comments in the code above are not right... sorry :(

for a whole 4X4 keypad it should be

Code:

DEFINE KEYPAD_ROW 4 ' 4 ROW keypad DEFINE KEYPAD_ROW_PORT PORTB ' ROW port = PORTB DEFINE KEYPAD_ROW_BIT 4 ' ROW0 = PORTB.4 DEFINE KEYPAD_COL 4 ' 4 COL keypad DEFINE KEYPAD_COL_PORT PORTB ' COL port = PORTB DEFINE KEYPAD_COL_BIT 0 ' COL0 = PORTB.0 DEFINE KEYPAD_DEBOUNCEMS 20 ' debounce delay = 20 mSec DEFINE SCAN_ONCE 1

i have this setup on a EASYPIC4 board and their 4X4 keypad like this
http://www.mikroe.com/en/tools/keypa...keypad_400.jpg
http://www.mikroe.com/en/tools/keypa..._connected.jpg
And using the internal pull-up.

their keypad schematic is bellow
http://www.mikroe.com/pdf/keypad_board_schematic.pdf

Corrected to:

DEFINE KEYPAD_COL 4 ' 4 COL keypad (0-3)

DEFINE KEYPAD_COL_BIT 0 ' COL 0 = PORTB.0 (wires start at PORTB bit 0)

Keypad is now working properly.

Many thanks for your attention and efforts.

Cool!

I have noticed that the keypad display output occurs on the release of the keypress. The setup I have which is like a "musical chairs" type of game requires variable index capture of the first player to be detected on "keypress". Can I change this?
Also, in my old kepad routine I would lockout a team of 4 players who jumped the gun by removing that column from the scan, bit 0 in the example portion below.

If penaltyflagA = 0 then ' good start
PortB=%00001111
butn = butn +4
Goto PlayerB ' Pull the first row line LOW
Else ' penalty for this player
PortB=%00001110 ' remove this col from keypad scan for round

Where is the best place in this keypad code to do the same?

Homer, can you post your whole code?
