I been trying to get a keypad to work on porta because I need portb for pwm. The reading of the keys work. But I've been trying to save how many keys was pressed and can't for the life of me get it to. What I'm trying to do
is count to see if key8 was pressed 4 times in a row. thanks for any help
Code: 
Device = 18F1220
Clock = 8
Config OSC = INTIO2
Config MCLRE = OFF
Include "INTOSC8.bas"
Dim counter As Word

:confused:
 
I can't see how counter could ever get less than zero.

Code: 
If key8 = 1 And out0 = 1 And [COLOR="Red"]counter < 0 [/COLOR]Then

Mike.
 
I tried it like this it still don't count the presses
Code: 
    Low (out1)
        Low (out0)  
    If key8 = 1 Then        // lights a led if key8 is pressed
        Toggle (out0)       //
    EndIf
    If key8 = 1 And out0 = 1 And counter < 4 Then     // this is what I can't get to work
        Inc (counter)          // the counter dosn't change value
         DelayMS(10)
      While key8 = 1 Wend

    EndIf
    If counter = 4 Then         // should hit 4 and turn on the led 
        High (out1)
    EndIf
 Wend
The funny thing here is I can toggle and with any of the 12 keys but can't count just one key to see how many times it was pressed and if that one key and only that key got pressed four times in a row it lights led out1

You will run into problem if you don't disable the ADCs on PORTA.

Be careful with 18F, you want to write to LAT instead of PORT.
 
Well yes, but no INCLUDE "Utils.bas".. has to be a copy/paste mistake then ;)

Code: 
Low (col1) Low (col2) High (col3)
ok this compile, you have quite a few in your code, but does it really work as expected?

I figure the compiler could use only the first High/Low, then discard the other.
 
I have
INCLUDE "Utils.bas"
Click to expand...
I remove some of the include i had in it. that where commented out and removed it too The code works find if you just want it to read a a key. I can set it so that any key pressed is a 1 and it will count the key presses. But if I want to count just one key it will not count and it's on porta which it hard to do any way. Because no pullups on porta. I even use it to output the binary
number of the key to portB and all 12 work find. I don't get it it should count the key going high.
 
I got to thinking about what you where saying and change it to this still don't work with the counting is there a easy way to do this

Your code is hard to follow,
Why do you test out0, try changing the line to
Code: 
If keypress = 1 And counter < 4 Then

However, counter will get to 4 very quickly as you don't test for no key pressed.

Mike.
 
I can't see why it is not counting it still jumps to 4
And I have tried every thing I can think of .
I thought I was
you don't test for no key pressed
Click to expand...
Code: 
 If keypress = 1 And counter < 4 Then     // this is what I can't get to work
        delayms(20)
        high (out0)
        Inc (counter)
    elseif keypress = 0 then
      low (out0)
    EndIf  
   
    If counter = 4 Then         // should hit 4 and turn on the led 
        High (out1)
    EndIf
Is there a easy way to do this
Code: 
keypress = (key1)Or(key2)Or(key3)Or(key4)Or(key5)Or(key6)Or(key7)Or(key8)Or(key9)Or(key10)Or(key11)Or(key12)

Thanks mike I would use the swordfish keypad module but it don't work on PORTA.
P.S would you show me how to stop if from jumping to four you no I'm dum as coal bucket.

I was thinking this was doing the no keypress checking
Code: 
If col3 = 1 And roll4 = 1 Then
            key12 = 1   
        Else
            key12 = 0

I think I can see what you were trying to do with out0.

To use out0 as a flag you could do,

Code: 
    If keypress = 1 And out0=0 Then     // this is what I can't get to work
        delayms(20)
        high (out0)
        if counter < 4 then
            Inc (counter)
        endif
    elseif keypress = 0 and out0=1 then
        delayms(20)
        low (out0)
    EndIf
It's not very elegant but should work.

Mike.
 
I was trying to count the led when it went high I had it working like that but my video card went bad and the computer turn off and I lost what I had done. Now I can't get it to count at all I tried that code.
with the delay's it takes to long to read the key I removed them and it blinks led out0
and turns on out1 all most as fast as I pressed the key. whats a good way to count
a event like the port pin going high
Code: 
If led0 = 1 and count<4 then   // This should test led0 for high and see what count is
        inc (count)      // this should inc by one value in count
        low (led0)      // this should turn off the led0
endif 
 If count = 4 then   // this should test count for 4 
         high (led1)
endif

If the delay is too long then your oscillator isn't running at the right speed. Try adding OSCCON=$72 to the init code.

Porta isn't for a keypad I don't think I had a keyscan code that I didn't post maybe you can see what I'm missing with it
Code: 
Function KeyValue() As Byte
        
        Result = 0 
    For Counter = 0 To 2 
    setkeypad = %11111000   //sets tris inputs and outputs
    keypad = %00000000      //sets all pins low
    porta = keypad
    trisa = setkeypad
    keypad.Bits(Counter) = 1
    If porta.3 = 0 And PORTB.4 = 0 And PORTB.6 = 0 And PORTB.7 = 0 Then    // Check if any Rows are "High"
            ColData = Counter
            If keypad.3 = 1 Then
                RowData = 1
            ElseIf keypad.4 = 1 Then
                RowData = 4
            ElseIf keypad.6 = 1 Then
                RowData = 7
            ElseIf keypad.7 = 1 Then
                RowData = 10                
            EndIf            
            Result = ColData + RowData
            Break          
        EndIf  
    Next
End Function
while true
     portb = KeyValue
    wend
end

 While True
    // wait for a key to be pressed, then send it via uart
    Key = 0
    While Key = 0
        Key = Keypad12.Value
    Wend    
    PORTB = Key

I was trying to save the first 4 key presses I have the keypad module working on PortA
It works find I put 8 leds on PortB and the value of the led is output to PortB It give the value 1 to 12 just like It should
This is the thing if I test to see if the key is say a 1 I get a 1 with out pressing the key one. Maybe you can tell me
what I'm doing wrong
Code: 
Dim a AS Byte           // to save four key presses 
Dim b AS Byte
Dim c AS Byte
Dim d AS Byte 
       If key >0 Then           // test to see if a key was pressed
               a = key             // should make a have the value of key and put it in a
       EndIF
       If key >0 Then           // test to see if a key was pressed
               b = key             // should make a have the value of key and put it in b
       EndIF
       If key >0 Then           // test to see if a key was pressed
               c = key             // should make a have the value of key and put it inc
       EndIF
        If key >0 Then           // test to see if a key was pressed
               d = key             // should make a have the value of key and put it d
       EndIF
This put the same value in all not what I want. Maybe some way to put four new key presses in a,b,c,d I hope so.
I done this 100 ways and no go LOL. thanks

How do you get the value from a array 1 at a time
Code: 
Device = 18F1220
Clock = 8
Config OSC = INTIO2
Config MCLRE = OFF
Include "INTOSC8.bas"
Include "Utils.bas"                  // local duty variable...
Include "Keypad12.bas"
    Dim Key(4) As Byte
    Dim Counter As Byte
    SetAllDigital       
    TRISB =%00000000
    PORTB =%00000000 
    
    While True
       Counter = 0
       For Counter = 0 To 3                   // loop 4 times
            While Keypad12.Value = 0          // wait for key press
            Wend
            Key(Counter) = Keypad12.Value     // grab key value
            Keypad12.Debounce                 // debounce the key
       Next
       Counter = 0
       For Counter = 0 To 3                   //  this out put the Binary value to portB
 
       PORTB = Key(Counter)
       delayms (500)
       Next
    Wend
I have tryed evey thing in the book all i want to do is save 4 key press so I can check them to see if there right
 
Can you post the keypad12.bas file?

As a quick guess you may need,
Code: 
Repeat
    Key(Counter) = Keypad12.Value     // grab key value
until Key(Counter)<>0
However, I don't see how this calls the key scan routine unless it is interrupt driven.

Mike.
 
The keypad12 module works with the code I posted And digital-diy wrote the code to use
it with USART. But if I try to get the value of the saved keys I can't but I can output it to portb like in my code and it lights the leds with the Binary value for what key I have pressed one at a time for the 4 that it saved. See I need to no what four keys have been pressed and that only four have been pressed here the keypad module
Code: 
Module Keypad12
{
Column1 = PORTX.0
Column2 = PORTX.1
Column3 = PORTX.2
PORTX.3 NC
