keypad problem
PostPosted: Thu Nov 13, 2008 10:29 am     Reply with quote

First my keypad is a 4x4 matrix keypad with an extra common pin. I have it hooked to portb with pullups active. Upon a button press I get a col and row pin shorted to gnd indicating which button is pressed. I took newguy's interrupt code (http://www.ccsinfo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19726) and modified it.

What I get is the button code press and then release. But I have to hold down the button to get the push and release code. If I quickly tap the key I only get the release code.

Is my keypad (all electronics) bad or my code wrong?
Code:

I would start by changing this
Code:

void RB_isr(void) {
   new_b_state = input_b();   
   if (old_b_state != new_b_state) { <---- Not required as this interrupted due to a change in state!
      old_b_state = input_b(); 
//      if (old_b_state == 0xff)
         key_pressed = TRUE;
   }
}

change to

void RB_isr(void) {
  old_b_state = input_b();
  if (old_b_state == 0xFF)
    key_pressed = true;
}



You don't actually use the push code ?
I can't see what your problem is!

Right now I am only printing the codes to the serial port.

My problem is the keypad buttons have to be held down for at least half a second before the program prints a press code and then release code (once the button is released). If I don't hold down the button I only get a release code on the serial port.

The changes you suggested didn't change the results at all.

Look at this CCS example file on using push buttons with #int_rb:
Quote:
c:\program files\picc\examples\ex_pbutt.c

It has an example of how to do the isr (for 'press' or 'release' but not both).

Your complaint about the requirement for a 500ms hold down time is
caused by the delays in your loop. Your program only tests the status
every 1/2 second. That's the update rate.

thanks, I didnt think about that. Embarassed should I be checking the status in the isr instead?

Here is my final code. the int routine will pick up both a press and a release. the main function will only print a press, however.

Code:
