A Universal Advanced Keypad Library Printer-friendly version | Forums | FAQs |

Getting an input from a user may seem trivial, but in real word it will lead to resolve some problems like switch bounce, input correction, input validation, polling function in each major loop of the program, and so on... Here is a very convenient way to solve them : this interrupt-based keypad library will do it for you.

Why another PIC Keypad LIBRARY ? There are already tons of keypad PIC libraries on the web, but I think this one will be the most universal and versatile, featuring : keypad up to 8x8 or buttons up to 8 fully configurable I/O : user defined ports in keypad mode row port and column port may be different user defined bits in port user defined rows and columns number user defined character lookup table user defined erase and enter keys works on interrupt : no polling necesary, no key lost auto debounce, delay is user defined switchable typematic (auto-repeat) mode at run time, rate is user defined switchable linear/circular buffer mode at run time input is available at any time in a string buffer maximum input size is user defined other functions : last key entered keypad status...

FORUMS A PIC16F84A Alarm Clock Microcontroll ers Project Printer-friendly version | Forums | FAQs | Examples NEW:: picoDetector : How to detect metal with a PIC picoBAT, an ultrasonic bat Here is a simple PIC16F84A alarm clock. detector with This page summarizes this discussion (in 3 components french) in my forum, where Samir (aka LCDscope, numerique1) requested for help to build a not a GLCD weekly alarm clock for his school. Many but a text thanks to him for his tests and patience. LCD This clock counts seconds, minutes, hours oscilloscope and day of the week. TouchClock : Time is displayed on 4 seven segment LED Design your displays, and is adjustable with three buttons own GLCD at start time (up, down, enter). Clock You can program the day of the week, hour, Coming Soon minute and duration of the alarms. : Ethernal The number of alarms are limited by ROM clock, a space only. digital SNTP The alarm is on the RA4 open collector clock with output of the PIC, and is repeated on a embedded decimal point of the display. web server Pico OSD, a For once, the program is in BASIC PIC video (mikroBasic) and I hope it will make a good superimposer start for beginners.
