Summary of Matrix scankey 3×4 for Lcd 2 line For CSS Compiler
This article provides C source code for a PIC16F877-based keypad-driven electric power display using a 4-bit LCD interface. It initializes MCU peripherals, scans a 3x4 keypad, collects numeric inputs into a buffer, converts values to display digits, and shows them on a two-line LCD. Functions include initialization, keypad scan/display, simple hex-to-BCD digit extraction, and a calculate routine handling input storage and a decrement loop for key 11.Parts used in the Electric Power Display Project:
- PIC16F877 microcontroller
- 4-bit LCD module (included via lcd_4bit.c)
- 3x4 keypad (handled via get_key3x4.c)
- Resistors for pull-ups on keypad rows/columns
- PCB or breadboard
- Power supply (4 MHz clock referenced, Vcc appropriate for PIC)
- Connecting wires

}Quick Solutions to Questions related to Electric Power Display Project:
- What microcontroller is used in the project?
The project uses a PIC16F877 microcontroller. - How is the keypad interfaced to the microcontroller?
The project uses a 3x4 keypad with rows on PORTB pins B0-B3 and columns on PORTB pins B4-B6, scanned via get_key3x4.c. - How is the LCD connected and driven?
The LCD is driven in 4-bit mode using code included from lcd_4bit.c. - Does the code use analog inputs?
No, the code disables analog inputs with setup_adc_ports(NO_ANALOGS) and setup_adc(ADC_OFF). - What clock frequency is configured for the PIC?
The code uses a 4 MHz clock as specified by #use delay(clock=4000000). - How are entered digits stored?
Digits are stored in the set array with index i; each new key press assigns set[i] = k in calculate(). - What happens when key value equals 11?
When k equals 11, calculate() decrements value1 in a loop, calling display() and delaying 500 ms until value1 is zero, then resets digit, value1, and i. - How does the code display individual digits?
hex_bcd2 extracts a single digit into b and display() uses the s character array to print that digit to the LCD at positions based on i.
