convert the numbers to word

[Pic_User]

Hi savnik,

See if I read you correctly.
You want the user to be able to press a series of buttons, on your keypad. You would like the PIC to take this series of separate button values and “string them together” (“concatenate” them). Then use them as a PIC WORD variable in your program.

You are able to read the individual button presses, but are having trouble putting them together to make the variable.

Is that close?

Ok, well that makes a bit more sense to me...

getword:
for x = 0 to 3
Gosub getkey ' Get a key from the keypad
keyin(x) = key 'save the individual keypresses
lcdout I,Line2 + x,#key ' Display ASCII key number
next
outval = ( keyin(0) * 1000 ) + ( keyin(1) * 100 ) + ( keyin(2) * 10 ) + keyin(3)
return
