This Tutorial Will Show You How To Read A 4x4 Keypad Input and Write To An Alphanumeric LCD Interfaced To Your PIC Micro

This tutorial shows how to read input from a 4x4 keypad and display it on an LCD screen connected to a PIC microcontroller. It involves setting the row pins as outputs to supply logic to the keypad rows and column pins as inputs. The program scans each row by setting it low and reads the column pins to detect which key is pressed, then uses a function to determine the key value based on the row and column. It returns a character corresponding to the pressed key.

This tutorial will show you how to read a 4x4 keypad input and write to an alphanumeric LCD interfaced

to your PIC micro, it's pretty simple and straight forward.

First create a new project and add a c main file like in the steps for Blinking a LED using MPLAB X , PIC16F877A Components 1.PIC16F877A micro controller 2. 4x4 matrix keypad initial setup supply logic 0 (0V or GND) to all 4 keypad row wires or set the row pins as output Supply logic 1 (high voltage) to all 4 keypad coloum wires or set coloums as input Steps to read a key from the keypad 1. Find the Row first, by selecting each row 2. scan the colum which pressed key is 3 Find the key pressed ,the function findKey() is

for this 4. If we have at least one key pressed, then return from keypadread() will be non zero.
