Overview

Keypad123.jpgKeypad-1.jpgKeypad-2.jpg
The 4*4 matrix keypad usually is used as input in a project. It has 16 keys in total, which means the same input values.
The SunFouner 4*4 Matrix Keypad Module is a matrix non- encoded keypad consisting of 16 keys in parallel. The keys of each row and column are connected through the pins outside – pin Y1-Y4 as labeled beside control the rows, when X1-X4, the columns.

How it works

First test whether any key is pressed down. Connect power to rows, so they are High level. Then set all the rows Y1-Y4 as Low and then detect the status of the columns. Any column of Low indicates there is key pressing and that the key is among the 4 keys of the column. If all columns are High, it means no key is pressed down.
Next, locate the key. Since the column in which the pressed key lies is identified, knowing the line would finalize the testing. Thus, set the rows as Low in turns until any is unveiled accordingly – other rows will still be High.
Now the row can be identified. Detect the status of each column in turns. The column tested Low is the one intersecting with the line – their cross point is just the key pressed.

Test Experiment

Experimental Principle

Through programming, we've set the four keys in the first row (with pins at the top as shown in the figure below) as 1, 2, 3, 4; those in the second row as 5, 6, 7, 8; in the third as 9, A, B, C; and in the fourth as D, *, 0, #.
Connect the row and column pins of the keypad to pin 4-11 respectively. You can know its value whenever you press the key.

  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop()
{
  readKey();
  //delay(100);
}

void readKey()
{
  int correct = 0;
  char customKey = customKeypad.getKey();//get the key value
  if(customKey)
  {
    Serial.print("keyValue: ");

}

Step 3: Before you upload the code ,you need to click Tools->Board and Tools->COM to select correct board and COM, then click the Upload icon( )to upload the code the board. Open Serial Monitor (click ). When you press a key, its value will be displayed on the window.
