Keypad_Lcd problem
Hi everyone,
Kindly check the codes below, I'm trying to display numeric value to the LCD 1 to 12.
My problem is that initially it displays the digit 4 and I noticed that switches 1-3(row 1) dont change any value (displays digit 4).
But switches 4 to 12 is working fine. I'm using PIc16F876A, my keypad is 3x4 and connected to B0-B6 with external resistors 270 ohms at B0-B3.
My second question is how do you convert this code 'LCDOUT $FE, $C0, "ROW=", DEC ROW, " COL=", DEC COLUMN, " SW=", DEC SWITCH, " " and
LCDOUT $FE, $80, "ROW=",BIN4 (BUFFER & $0F)," COL=", BIN4 BUFFER >>4' to Serout command.
The Code:
;define the variables
BUFFER VAR BYTE
ALPHA VAR BYTE ;counter for rows
COLUMN VAR BYTE
ROW VAR BYTE
SWITCH VAR BYTE
;SET UP PORT B PULL UPS
OPTION_REG.7 = 0 ;Enable PORTB pullups to make B4-B7 high
TRISB = %11110000 ;Make B4-B7 inputs, B0-B3 outputs,
TRISC =%00000000
PAUSE 200 ;Wait for LCD to start
;Set up the initial LCD readings
Serout 7,6, [$FE, 1] ;Clear the LCD
PORTB =%00001110 ;Set line B0 low so we can read row 1 only
LOOP:
PORTB =%00001110 ;Set line B0 low so we can read row 1 only
FOR ALPHA = 1 TO 4 ;Need to look at 4 rows
IF (PORTB & $70)<>$70 THEN
;As soon as one of the bits in B4 to B7 changes we
;immediately
;have to store the value of PORTB in a safe place.
BUFFER =PORTB
GOSUB SHOWKEYPRESS
Serout 7,6, [$FE, 1] ;Clear the LCD
ELSE
ENDIF
PORTB= PORTB <<1 ;move bits left one place for next line low
PORTB= PORTB + 1 ;put 1 back in LSBit, the right bit
NEXT ALPHA
GOTO LOOP
SHOWKEYPRESS:
BUFFER = BUFFER ^ %11111111 ;flips all the bits in the buffer
;print the first line
''LCDOUT $FE, $80, "ROW=",BIN4 (BUFFER & $0F)," COL=", BIN4 BUFFER >>4
COLUMN=(NCD BUFFER) -4
ROW=NCD (BUFFER & $0F)
SWITCH=((ROW-1) * 3) +COLUMN
;print the second line
''LCDOUT $FE, $C0, "ROW=", DEC ROW, " COL=", DEC COLUMN, " SW=", DEC SWITCH, " "
Serout PortC.1,6,[$FE,1]
serout PortC.1, 6, [#SWITCH]
pause 500
RETURN
END
Thanks in advance,

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the reply, I know it may sound silly but where can I get MPASM to compile the keypad.bas? Sorry, I'm really new to this found hobby.
Thanks again,
joe

No problem my friend, you're in the learning process.
To have MPASM (and some extra tools) just Download MPLAB IDE from Microchip Website.
http://www.microchip.com/stellent/id...&part=SW007002
If you're using MicroCodeStudio, you need to specify you want to use MPASM as assembler in View>Compile and Program Option>>Assembler.
If you don't want to download MPLAB, you can use Darrel's version made for PM, same thread, post #29
