PIC Microcontroller MikroC Tutorials.
MikroC is the best compiler for beginners as it provides a lot of built in libraries. A beginner can do projects without knowing more about hardware.
This tutorial explains 'What is a Matrix Keypad ?' and 'How to Interface Matrix Keypad with PIC Microcontroller ?'.
I have already post about Interfacing Matrix Keypad with PIC Microcontroller. I suggest to read that article before reading this. In some applications it may require to scan more than one key at a time. Reading Multiple Pressed Keys from Matrix Keypad is not simple as reading Single key. We want to change the program as well as the circuit of matrix keypad for reading multiple keys. The main problem is unexpected shorts may come to act when we press more...
Servo Motor uses error sensing negative feedback to control the precise angular position. Servos are used for precise positioning in robotic arms, legs, RC Aeroplanes, Helicopters etc. Please read the article Servo Motor for more information about its working and construction. Hobby Servo Motors have three wires, two of them (RED and BLACK) are used to given power and the third one is used to give control signals. Servo can be easily be controlled using microcontrollers using Pulse Width...
I already posted about Interfacing Matrix Keypad with PIC Microcontroller with some user-defined functions. Advantages in using user-defined functions are we can extend it up to any number of keys and able to customise according to our application. The MikroC Pro for PIC Microcontrollers provides a library for working with 4*4 keypad. It can also be used to interface 4*3, 4*2 and 4*1 keypads. MikroC provides the following three functions to interface Matrix Keypad. Keypad_Init Keypad_Key_Press Keypad_Key_Click
