Description

This keypad is a basic 12 button pad that is used for user input. These buttons are setup in matrix format which allows the microcontroller to 'scan' the 7 pins to see which of the 12 buttons are being pressed.

How The Component Works

The keypad pins correspond to either a certain row or certain column then based on which ones are activated then microcontroller can pick out which button was pressed.

Pin Connections

The Keypad is connected through DigitalIn and DigitalOut pins on the microcontroller and for this we used p21-p27. The schematic is built as follows:
