PIC Microcontroler based Keyboards

4x4 Keypad Standard Scanning with 8 io pins

Ken Webster says:

I just happened to have an example [of a keyboard to PIC interface]. It is for a 4x4 keypad connected to a 17C756 on PORTB. It doesn't do the fast scan ... just a plain old one-row-at-a-time scan. I had PORTB (output latch) set to 0. Weak pullups were enabled.

Pinout is kinda funky (to make PCB layout easier):


6---(1)-(2)-(3)-(A)
     |   |   |   |
7---(4)-(5)-(6)-(B)
     |   |   |   |
5---(7)-(8)-(9)-(C)
     |   |   |   |
2---(*)-(0)-(#)-(D)
     |   |   |   |
