keypad interfacing

[brelliott18 2]

I have recently bought a LaunchPad 2553. I am a comparitive novice.

 

I am trying to add a  4 X 4 matrix keypad.  I copied some code from an Arduino source and changed #Arduino references to #Energia. I commented out a  #WProgram statement - what is this ?

 

The code compiled and verified OK .  I connected the 8 wires from keypad  to p1.0 -p1.7 [ and tried other ports as well ].

 

The output was sent to the Serial monitor via Serial.println( key ).  I could only get any output by pressing many keys at the same time.

 

I looked at the keyboard.h  file but it went nothing to me.  How do the DigitalReads get initiated ?

 

 [ Serial.println ("hello world " ) worked so the program does get to the right place  ]

 

Any suggestions please  - pointers to existing code snippets - I can't fine any . Thanks

You didn't "search" very hard.

So where is this information for the Msp430G2553  [ NOT the Arduino - Those didn't work ]  ?

[brelliott18 2]

This is part of the Arduino code I found for keypads [ keyboard.h ].  How should ths be altered [ if necessary ] to run on the MSP430G2553 ?

 

Assuming I use p1.0 to p1.7  ??? for the 8 wires coming from the keypad [ 4 X 4 ]

 

#define INPUT_PULLUP  0x2   - does this need changing ?

Don't see anything obviously wrong with the INPUT_PULLUP section (since Energia defines INPUT_PULLUP the code here isn't used).

 

Would help if you post the rest of the code (as you have modified it), or post a link to the library you are modifying (if you haven't changed it).  (Please use the code attribute - the <> icon - when posting code.)

[SixSixSevenSeven 23]

the arduino library is absolutely fine as is. I would attribute it to an error in your code or wiring not the library.

Solved - thanks for help anyway. Thought I could use P1_1 and P1_2  but couldn't  - used P1_3 upwards then P2 instead - works fine !

@@brelliott18 - P1_1 and P1_2 are connected to the UART -> USB bridge on the launchpad.  Pulling off the TX/RX jumpers would solve that problem.
