Hi,
Just needed some help with my code,
Im using ATMEGA8515 and a FM629 Board.

I need to enter a number on the keypad and output on the LED,
I got the LEDs and that down packed, i just need help, as my code seem to be only reading in the first Row, even if I enter any number from the second/third ROW

; 
; Lab5-a assembler program 
; 
.include "m8515def.inc" 

.def temp = r16
.def num = r17

; set 7-segment display labels 
.equ ZERO  = 0b00111111 
.equ ONE   = 0b00000110 
.equ TWO   = 0b01011011       
.equ THREE = 0b01001111
.equ FOUR  = 0b01100110
.equ FIVE  = 0b01101101
.equ SIX   = 0b01111101
.equ SEVEN = 0b00000111
.equ EIGHT = 0b01111111

How do i modify this so the values are read in correct?

ps.
The column bits are used as outputs and Row bits as inputs.

When you see something like this you cannot help thinking it's crying out "make an array".

Put those values into flash as .db's then LPM them. That way you can easily index the data.

That part is part of the specifications, we are told to just define it like that, I dont think the lenght of the code matters at this point, just the functionality.

Here is an updated code, but the Columns still dont want to get done.

I get that this keypad is a ginat set of switches and when a number is pressed that column is electrically connected to the row.
If no key is pressed, the row lines are at plus. Any pressed key pulls down the row lines to zero volts.

To detect, which one of the 12 keys is pressed, I need to pull down the three column lines one by one to 0V (the other two column lines to plus) and read the resulting four row-lines.

I thought thats what I am doing here, but obviously im wrong somewere, unless im not entering the test numbers correctly onto Pinb, its hard without the actual equipment and only AVR studio =(

Eh? What kind of way is that to learn programming? Oh well modern teachers apparently claim to know what they are doing so I guess it must be right.

As for row an column scanning it's pretty much the same in any language especially on AVRS where the built in pull-ups make open lines reading 1 the natural choice. You drive a 0 bit across the output lines one at a time (some kind of shift such as LSL or LSR will come into play here). Then after you've set each output you read the inputs in turn for any that show signs of non-zero (that is the masked part of the input is not all 1's). Knowing the current output (low) bit and the current input (low) bit then lets you index (usually) a table to tell you what the represented character is.

It's usually best to sketch this out in a few sentences of English or, dare I say it, even a flow diagram then actually coding that is trivial.

In the old days the job of programming was split between system analysts and programmers. The system analysts were the ones paid the big bucks and well respected who analysed the problem down to implementable blocks then the programmers were little more than typists who then coded from their specification. It was actually a system that worked well. These days we're all called programmers and we must do both jobs. But it's the thinking bit up front, not the coding (then debugging) out the back end that pays the mortgage.

I pull the three column lines one by one to VCC("plus"), while holding the other two lines low (0V or GND).

I don't understand how you can detect the keypress with your method.

Further you say "just avr studio" does that mean you don't have the matrix keypad and an AVR on hand?

You might want to examine a couple of Atmel
app notes: AVR240 and AVR242, are app notes
that give you a couple of ideas to study.

I'll believe corporations
are people when Texas executes one.

:oops: I didn't grasp the app note post in your post John.
Maybe the OP will think if more than one
made the suggestion it might help. :D

It was on my mind when I read through the thread . Some years ago I coded the app note using 'C' but used a timer interrupt to
check the keypad inputs and did not have to
use the extra gate to trigger the external
interrupt used in the app note.
Worked great :)

Can someone add [in asm] to the title so us non avr asm dudes dont have to wade thru it? Thanx. Isn't asm almost over yet?

Well I found this AVR tutorial,
http://www.avr-asm-tutorial.net/...

And I based my code on it.

.equ TWO   = 0b01011011       
.equ THREE = 0b01001111
.equ FOUR  = 0b01100110
.equ FIVE  = 0b01101101
.equ SIX   = 0b01111101

What do I enter in AVR studio to test it correctly? Because my tests thus far are not making the program work, and checking it, the masking makes sense.

LOOP:
   in temp,PINB
    ldi temp,0b00001111 ; PB4..PB6=Null, pull-Up-resistors to input lines

The first instruction is pointless since the second wipes out the value in temp.

The downside of setting the port bits high and low is if yo get multiple keys pressed at one, this may short your column (or row) output bits together. Thr method I emply is to twiddle the DDR bits to either enable or diasble the output bits with the bits written to 0 in the PORT register. Basically this becomes open collector and shorting the lines has no negative effect (apart from ghost keys).

The important question is "how would you know how to write your precious C compiler without a knowledge of assembly language?".

I might mention that at the level that the keypad code is at it might be easier to implement a real keyboard. The old purple connector PS2 keyboards are straightforward to interface to an AVR. The newer USB keyboards are much more difficult.
A PS2 keyboard interface has three parts. First is an interrupt routine in INT0 to get the byte value from the serial bit data coming from the keyboard. Second is a convertor from scancodes to keypress data. The third part is the main code that uses the ASCII keypress sent to it.
I have uploaded code for a PS2 keyboard to the projects section here.

Its ok, my code is correct, besides the wrong masking of finding Row 1, i didnt realise, that i do now, is that the keyboard when held is constantly loading a value into PINB in real life, In AVR studio the PIN B gets constantly masked by anything in PORTB and DDR, so to account for that, the PINB has to be retoggled when the PINB is loaded for the column check, to emulate the "holding down" of the key

The OP might want to look at the IC
74C922 device. It takes two external caps, one for bounce and the other to control the scan time.
The data sheet should be able to be located , use a Internet source.

As I recall, it had several methods to
communicate the 4 bit pressed key value
(output in hex) and could also generate
a signal that could be used by the AVR
as a interrupt source.

Of course this does add another device to the project , but the AVR code for multiplexing , scan times and decoding the individual key press is eliminated.
The output of the chip is a 4 bit value
which contains the hex value of the key press.

Some years back, I used this device and I recall that it worked without any issues.

Just another thought/suggestion.

I would also be interested in anyone else who has used this device in the past.

I'll believe corporations
are people when Texas executes one.
