3.2 જોડાણ પગલાં
- પિન ઓળખો: Locate the 8 pins on the module. These will correspond to the 4 rows and 4 columns of the keypad matrix.
- Connect to Microcontroller: Connect the row and column pins of the keypad module to appropriate digital I/O pins on your microcontroller. Ensure proper wiring to avoid damage.
- પાવર સપ્લાય: The module typically draws power directly from the microcontroller's I/O pins during operation, requiring no separate power supply.
- સોફ્ટવેર રૂપરેખાંકન: Implement a keypad scanning algorithm in your microcontroller's firmware to detect key presses. This usually involves setting row pins as outputs and column pins as inputs (or vice-versa) and scanning them sequentially.
4. Operating the Keyboard Module
Once connected and programmed, the keyboard module functions as a standard input device. Each key press can be detected by the microcontroller, allowing for various interactive applications.
4.1 Key Mapping
The 4x4 matrix typically maps keys as follows:
| કૉલમ 1 | કૉલમ 2 | કૉલમ 3 | કૉલમ 4 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 (Row 1) | 2 (Row 1) | 3 (Row 1) | A (Row 1) |
| 4 (Row 2) | 5 (Row 2) | 6 (Row 2) | B (Row 2) |
| 7 (Row 3) | 8 (Row 3) | 9 (Row 3) | C (Row 3) |
| * (Row 4) | 0 (Row 4) | # (Row 4) | D (Row 4) |
Your microcontroller code will read the state of the row and column pins to determine which key is pressed.

7. મુશ્કેલીનિવારણ
If you encounter issues with your keyboard module, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
- No Key Press Detected:
- Verify all connections between the module and the microcontroller are secure and correct.
- Check your microcontroller's code for errors in the keypad scanning logic.
- Ensure the microcontroller's I/O pins are configured correctly (input/output modes, pull-up resistors if needed).
- Incorrect Key Detected:
- Review your key mapping in the software to ensure it matches the physical layout and pin connections.
- Check for short circuits between adjacent pins or keys on the module.
- તૂટક તૂટક ઓપરેશન:
- Ensure stable power supply to the microcontroller.
- Check for loose connections or cold solder joints.
- Consider adding debounce logic in your software to handle mechanical key bounce.
