RTFMRTFMRTFMRTFMRTFMRTFMRTFM . . .Darn it skimask, I got some records that do that
I'm goin' to take that as a yes, use the write command. What
I think I am trying to do is change the combination on a chip
that is already programmed with this program. SO to clarify
my question, how the heck would I do that? Would it require
another loop or a serin write, Black Cat bones?

No, no, no, I didn't mean for you to RTFM...this time I was only pointing it out, making sure.RTFMRTFMRTFM

I think I would set it up with a 'stock' combo when you program it set up in eeprom, say 12345 (that's amazing, I've got the same combination on my luggage!)...
Then, there's one sequence of numbers that only you know and will never tell anybody (call it a 'back door')...say, 1234567890.. If you get that sequence, the system knows that the next 5 numbers input will be the new combination and you have to enter them twice. Then save those new 5 numbers in the eeprom (read, write), and BAM the combo is changed.

Clever Idea, backdoor . . . like in WAR GAMES . . and I bet you thought I was going to make some jokes, That's going to be too much brain damage for now, tomorrow when I'm fresh, I will throw some spaghetti on the stove, and see what cooks out of it
Maybe if I am lucky sayzer or mister_e will send me some coffee
Thanks

Yep, that's what I was talking about...but not nearly as vocal (Shall we play a game?)Clever Idea, backdoor . . . like in WAR GAMES . . and I bet you thought I was going to make some jokes

But I just had another thought or eight...
You could keep all the code you've got and just add an extra couple of flags so you could go thru the loop an extra time or two. If you go thru the loop once and get the 1st half of the back door (12345), you set the flag. Then the next number is a 6. Since the flag is set, you start looking for the 2nd half of the back door, etc.etc.etc. Or just write a whole seperate block of code to handle it.
Or maybe even have another 5 digit code that has to be set while the gate is open. Then the gate stays open while you change the code. That way if you screw it up, at least the gate is open. Or maybe during that time, you forget about the keypad read code and manually scan the keypad for a multiple keypress (say 1-2-3-4 all at the same time)....
Lots of options...

Yep, lots of options . . most of them are still above my pay grade, metephoricly speaking. I'll slog along and throw out some snippets as I do for comment or correction. I have learned a great deal from this thread, I hope lots of newbies read and understand what's in it, not just siphon the code. I think Darrel set this code up partially to do that as there is mention of High Security and Low security in the setup. Anywho, I'm getting some ideas, in my thick noggin' and I better go write them down!

How the heck do you do this?
This is going nowhere, I know you would use a statement like
I cannot figure out how to make this program look beyond it'sCode:write 0,newcode or write 0,ByteA
original function to change eprom settings.
What was the meaning of HIGH_SECURITY 1 or 0 and if default is low security I do not see it run thereI guess I really do not understand when the keypad is lookin at keypress and when not (if ever not) I thought at first to copy code for high security=1 and change to 0 examining added combo to eprom,
no avail. Changed in those lined data 0 to data 8Code:DATA 8,5,"12345"
Is there a way to alter eprom from keypad?
very humbling experience here, and asm code, Black Magic?

With Low security, if you press the wrong key, it immediately terminates entry and shows "Access Denied".What was the meaning of HIGH_SECURITY 1 or 0
This is only good for "keeping the honest people out". Because for a 5 digit code, it would take a maximum of 80 keypresses to figure out the code. Or, if you're lucky, only 5.
High Security forces you to enter the exact number of digits followed by the # sign. This gives a maximum of 1,048,576 keypresses to guarantee finding the code. But with a 2 second delay after each failed attempt, it could take up to 582 days to try them all.
There really should be another level between those two. This mode would allow it to receive a string of keypresses (without showing an error), and if anywhere along the way the 5 digits are pressed in the right combination then access is granted. This is more like the way a building alarm pad works. It gives much better protection than the Low level, but if you forget the password, there's no way to figure it out.
;----
Personally, I don't like the "BackDoor" approach. That kind of thinking is for hackers and thieves. And if someone finds out about it, you can be sure it will be used against you. And if other people have this device, you can get blamed for anything that happens, whether it was your fault or not. But if it's just a one-off for you're own gate. Hey, go for it.
In my opinion, you should know the current code to be able to set a new code. Which means that once you've entered the correct password, you have a certain time period to enter another code, I would probably make it 3 stars. If that code is entered in time, it branches to another routine that allows you to enter the New Code.
Obviously, if you forget the code, the only way to reset it is to reprogram the chip. For security, That's a good thing.
Don't try to add more pasta by stitching things in with the existing keypad routine. Create a separate routine that handles entering the new code, and branch to it at the appropriate time. There's only so much marinara sauce in the world. And I want some of it for my dinner.
;----
Back to the EEPROM.
Location 0 is where the length of the Code is stored. The actual Code is stored from location 1 on.
Start at location 1, and store each keypress in successive locations. After they've finished entering the code (with a # sign), store the number of digits they entered in location 0.
