Where is my error?

Hi! I need to read a membrane matrix keypad with my KL25Z this is my software where is the error?

prove2

#include "mbed.h"
#include "TextLCD.h"
  
BusIn colonne(PTC8,PTA5,PTA4);
BusOut righe(PTA12,PTD4,PTA2,PTA1);
TextLCD lcd(PTE5,PTE4,PTE3,PTE2,PTB11,PTB10);

char Keypad(void)
{
    char key = 10;
    righe.write(15);
    righe.write(14);
    switch(colonne)
    {
        case 3: key = 1; break;
        case 5: key = 2; break;
        case 6: key = 3; break;
    }
    righe.write(13);
    switch(colonne)
    {
        case 3: key = 4; break;
        case 5: key = 5; break;
        case 6: key = 6; break;
    }
    righe.write(11);
    switch(colonne)
    {
        case 3: key = 7; break;
        case 5: key = 8; break;
        case 6: key = 9; break;
    }
    righe.write(7);
    switch(colonne)
    {
        case 3: key = '*';
        case 5: key = 0;
        case 6: key = '#';
    }
    return key;
}

int main(void) 
{
    char key; 
    lcd.cls();
    while(1)
    {
        lcd.cls();
        key = Keypad();
        if(key != 10)
            lcd.printf("%c\n\r",&key); 
        wait(0.2);        
    }
}

I've mounted 8.2Kohm pull up resistors on columns pins.

P.S.: colonne = columns, righe = rows

You want to printf the returned key, which is a character.

 lcd.printf("%c\n\r",&key); 

What you actually print is the address of the 'key' variable.

Try

 lcd.printf("%c\n\r", key); 

You may also want to change the code in the keypad matrix scan function. In all cases except '*' and '#' you dont return printable characters but low ASCII codes (0, 1, 2 etc). These non-printable chars wont show on the LCD or serial terminal.

I've followed your suggestion now work but not show correct numbers

We really need more info than that? Didn't you just make a wiring error?
