Hello everyone,
I have an excercise that conciste to program a 3x4 button keypad.
However, each button must have:
> Display the number of the button on the LCD
> Save a value of a defined position.
 
the first idea that I try to apply is: The implementation of a short and long button action.
For this I read the functions of Peter Dannegger that not seem the way to the case of a keypad.
the equipment I use is the suivatn:
Atmelstudio 7
April STK500
ATmega16 (L)
ISP
RS 232
3x4 Keypad

Is there anyone who can offer me an alternative idea, if someone can give me a code that made the action to the case of a keypad.

Short/long press detection is simply the act of measuring the time between "make" and "release". When you first detect the button is activated take a note of your systick counter then check again when the button state changes again .

thanks for your intervention,
Please can you show me an example?
because the keypadbutton respond now only to one click (one action).

My input library here debounces and deals with button pressed and button held:

Hi again,
I read your article that is very interesting. but I'm stuck with the use of my keyscan() function that I`ve written.
can you tell me how should call my keyscan() with your illustrious library?

Sorry Etie; I am swamped with work right now.  Hopefully someone else can chime in and make some suggestions for you.  My library only requires that you feed it inputs at a specific time period, such as every millisecond.  Good luck!

a 3x4 keypad w/ LCD is such a common project, I would think a quick google search would find many examples:
