Arduino 4x4 Keypad Interface

Arduino Code

#include<Keypad.h>

const byte Rows = 4;


const byte Cols = 4;

char keys[Rows][Cols] = {
{'1','2','3','+'},
{'4','5','6','-'},
{'7','8','9','*'},
{'@','0','#','%'}
};

byte rowpins[Rows] = {9, 8, 7, 6};


byte colpins[Cols] = {5, 4, 3, 2};

Keypad keypad = Keypad(makeKeymap(keys), rowpins, colpins, Rows, Cols);

void setup() {
[Link](9600);
}

void loop() {
char key = [Link]();
if(key) {
[Link]("key pressed: ");
[Link](key);
}
}
