I am trying to write program for matrix keypad. I am working with 8051 and keil

I think I can't write whole program so I have started with function's and I hope you will help me to complete program

C: 
#include<reg51.h>

#define port P3           /* Data pins connected to port P1 */

sbit RS = P2^0;           /* RS pin connected to pin 0 of port P2 */
sbit RW = P2^1;           /* RW pin connected to pin 1 of port P2 */
sbit EN = P2^3;           /* EN pin connected to pin 2 of port P2 */

sbit R1   = P1^0;         /*Row 1 */
sbit R2   = P1^1;         /*Row 2 */
sbit R3   = P1^2;         /*Row 3 */
sbit R4   = P1^3;         /*Row 4 */

sbit C1   = P1^4;         /*Column 1 */
sbit C2   = P1^5;         /*Column 2 */
sbit C3   = P1^6;         /*Column 3 */
sbit C4   = P1^7;         /*Column 4 */

void DelayUs(unsigned int wait);
void DelayMs(unsigned int wait);
void LCD_Command(unsigned char cmd);
void LCD_Data(unsigned char Data);
void LCD_init();


/* functions for delay */
 void DelayUs(unsigned int wait)
   {
     wait >>= 3;
      while(wait--);
   }

 void DelayMs(unsigned int wait)
   {
      while(wait--)
      DelayUs(1000);
       }

/* Function to send command instruction to LCD */
void LCD_Command(unsigned char cmd)
{
    port = cmd;
    RS=0;
    RW=0;
    EN=1;
    DelayMs(5);
    EN=0;
}
/*Function to send display dato LCD */
void LCD_Data(unsigned char Data)
{
    port = Data;
    RS=1;
    RW=0;
    EN=1;
    DelayMs(5);
    EN=0;
}
 /* Function to prepare the LCD */
void LCD_init()
{
    LCD_Command(0x38);
    DelayMs(15);
    LCD_Command(0x0f);
    DelayMs(15);
    LCD_Command(0x01);
    DelayMs(15);
    LCD_Command(0x81);
    DelayMs(15);
}
 
    char keypad(void)
    {
    unsigned char keymask = 0xEF;
    char key = 0, row;
    for(row=0;row < 3; row++)     
        {
          P2 = keymask; 
          if(!C1) key = 1; 
          if(!C2) key = 2;
          if(!C3) key = 3; 
          if(!C4) key = 4;

                   if(key)
            {   
              key += (row*4); 
              return key;
            }
                keymask <<= 1; 
         keymask ++;     
       }         
    return key;
    }
 
void LCD_goto( char x, char y)
   {
     int addr = 0x80; 
     if(y==2) addr+=0x40;
     addr += x; 
     LCD_Command(addr);
   }

Do you think all the functions are correct? Should I write main function?
 
Your rows are on P1.0 to P1.3 but your mask is 0xEF which has all rows high.

Assuming you have week pullups on C1 to C4 then you can read the whole keypad into one 16 bit variable.

Code: 
uint16_t keys;
    for(row=0x80;row!=0x08;row>>=1){
        keys<<=4;        //pre shift keys
        P1=255-row;      //write row mask
        keys|=P1&0x0f;   //OR in the cols
    }
The for loop goes 0x80, 0x40, 0x20 and 0x10 which is the row position.
It is subtracted from 255 to get the inverse mask.
The bottom 4 bits of P1 are ORed into (an already shifted left) keys.
keys will now contain a set bit for each key pressed.

I have set bit for row and column on P1

What's wrong with this

P1 =oxEF [1110 1111] Making row 1,2,3 and coulomb 0,1,2,3 high and row 0 low.
 
Sorry, I original read the rows and columns the other way around.

Do you understand the code I posted above?

No. Do you understand keypad function in program. I have tested it on PC by making simple c program it return 16 numbers

No! I had the keypad on P2 not P1... That's me being lazy P2 should be defined "KEY_PORT" to make it more transferable...

EDIT!! You also need to "map" the return values to a known state..

Ie.. 1 may not return 1..

OK I will follow your example for 3 x 4 keypad and try to implement

I try... But you don't seem to do what I suggest.

Which version of proteus are you using.. I will send My file that works.. THEN!! we can talk about why / when once you digest..

The trouble is, the file is at home so you have to wait a few hours..
 
It came from came from 8051 I been messing with this for 2 days I ported it to a 16f15376 and 16f 876
Only problem I have is the uart it can show the keys tho
Code: 
#define row1port LATDbits.LATD0
#define row2port LATDbits.LATD1
#define row3port LATDbits.LATD2
#define row4port LATDbits.LATD3
#define col1port PORTDbits.RD4
#define col2port PORTDbits.RD5
#define col3port PORTDbits.RD6
#define col4port PORTDbits.RD7   //if a 4x4 keypad is used
#define row1tris TRISDbits.TRISD0
#define row2tris TRISDbits.TRISD1
#define row3tris TRISDbits.TRISD2
#define row4tris TRISDbits.TRISD3
#define col1tris TRISDbits.TRISD4

There are many code available on internet and that work's but I am looking for efficient and good. previously I posted some code but Ian told me that this is not good way for keypad programming. so I was following his tutorial but couldn't get success.

I have proteus 8.1 I amworking on AT89c51 and keil.
 
I'm pretty sure the code I posted in post #2 will work with a little tweaking. All 5 lines of it.

Like this should work
Code: 
#include <mcs51reg.h>
#include <stdio.h>
sbit row1port = P1^0;
sbit row2port = P1^1;
sbit row3port = P1^2;
sbi trow4port = P1^3;
sbit col1port = P1^4;
sbit col2port = P1^5;
sbit col3port = P1^6
sbit col4port = P1^7;   // a 4x4 keypad is used
char const keyPadMatrix[] =
{
    '1','2','3','4',
    '5','6','7','8',
    '9','0','A','B',
    'C','D','E','F',
    0xFF
};
void ScanKeyMatrixInit()
{
    // we scan the keypad by turning on the row outputs and
    // reading the columns
   row1port = 0;
   row2port = 0;
   row3port = 0;
   row4port = 0;
   col1port = 1;
   col2port = 1;
   col3port = 1;
   col4port = 1;
}
char ScanKeyMatrix()
{
    // This routine returns the first key found to be
    // pressed during the scan.
    char key = 0, row;
  
    for( row = 0b00000001; row < 0b00010000; row <<= 1 )
    {      
        {   // turn on row output
            row1port = (row & 0x0001)>>0;
            row2port = (row & 0x0002)>>1;
            row3port = (row & 0x0004)>>2;
            row4port = (row & 0x0008)>>3;
            __delay_ms(1);
        }
      
        // read colums - break when key press detected
        if( col1port )
            break;
        key++;
        if( col2port )
            break;
        key++;
        if( col3port )
            break;
        key++;
        if( col4port )
            break;
        key++;
    }
    row1port = 0;
    row2port = 0;
    row3port = 0;
    row4port = 0;
      
    return keyPadMatrix[ key ];
}
