Matrix [4x4] Keypad interfacing with PIC Microcontroller [ PIC18f2550 ] in Proteus [Step by Step]

 Matrix [4x4] Keypad  interfacing with PIC Microcontroller [ PIC18f2550 ] in Proteus [Step by Step]

Basically a matrix keypad[ 4x4] can be compared as a keyboard of microcontroller .The keypad contains 16 buttons .Internal architecture of keypad described below :

Taken from Internet

You can see  the button's structure  .Here each row is connected with ground through 10k ohm resistor . Now consider that A=1, B=0,C=0,D=0 and column A get +5v .At this situation , if you press   button[A,E]  , the E link get +5v .In this way for button[A,F] , F=+5v or 1, button[A,G] , G=1, button[A,H] , H= 1.

Listen , if we can make ABCD(1000) ,ABCD(0100),ABCD(0010), ABCD(0001) through a loop . Now any button  pressed  , we can uniquely identify the button .In this way the matrix keypad works .

Now Create a project in Proteus :

Proteus Project :

Please follow the steps

I am just trying to make easy for beginner .Now follow the instruction for pick parts from library .

Now pick  PIC18F4550  microcontroller , 22pf capacitor ,crystal , LCD DISPLAY [LM016L] , keypad  from proteus library .Now see the complete circuit given below :

 Matrix [4x4] Keypad  interfacing with PIC Microcontroller [ PIC18f2550 ] in Proteus [Step by Step]

Here i have connected each column with +5v instead of GND and now i am going to provide (1000) ,(0100),(0010),(0001) in each row respectively .So if any button  is pressed we get 0 according to this.

Now We have completed the Circuit and create a project in MikroC .

 Now follow the instructions, how to create .hex file and save .

 Now go to Proteus and Run the Project .

 In this way you will able to interface Keypad with Microcontroller .
