Key Matrix scanning delay time

[usif]

Hi guys. Im trying to get a simple 4X4 Key matris working, with scanning. Ive read Nigels tutorial about it and though I would Try.

I cant seem to get the delay time between turning each row individually on quite right, so the buttons are being skipped. Can anyone help with getting the delay time correct?

Thanks in advance.

I never used a delay for scanning keys if one changed state save it and then delay and check same key for press is how I do it . If not still down go back and keep scanning
