Overview

The PmodKYPD is an array of buttons used for
input.

Features include:

• 16 labelled keys (0-F)

Functional Description

The PmodKYPD uses a standard 12-pin Pmod
header that indicates which row and which
column has been pressed in the array of
buttons.

When a button in that column is pushed, the
corresponding row pin will read logic low.

All of the buttons can be read by walking a
logic 0 through each column pin (keeping the
other pins at logic high) and reading the row
pins. This will read the state of each button.

Device Usage

The PmodKYPD is set up as a matrix in which
each row of buttons from left to right are tied to
a row pin, and each column from top to bottom
is tied to a column pin. This gives the user four
row pins and four column pins to address the
button push.

To read a button’s state, the column pin in
which the button resides must be pulled low.
This enables all of the buttons in that column.
