Newbie Keypad Help

Post by SamFisher »

Hello all, I am new to these boards. But I would like to say that I am very impressed with this forum. This is a really good idea for such a complicated product. I have my display working the way I like it (after much trial and error LOL!). Now, I am having trouble getting the keypad on the display face to work at all. I have read another users comments about the same issue. The user stated the the keypad was mapped differently? Could that be the issue that I am having and how do I fix it?

Any help would be great guys!
Thanks

Hi,

I take it your using LCDC?

If so, you need to setup an event rather than a screen, in the screen builder. You choose System - Keypad Press as the event

The LCD will send a different ASCII character to the software depending upon which key is pressed. This is the parameter. The letters are:

Enter = J
F2 = P
F1 = Q

UP Arrow = K
Right Arrow = F
Down Arrow = L
Left Arrow = R

So if you wanted it to do something when you press the enter keypad key, you would enter J into the parameter box. You then simply choose your action!

Just post here if you have problems/more questions!
