Keypad

In version 3 you make use of a 4 x 3 matrix keypad. Can this be extended to a 4x4 matrix or will this need to be another library file.

We will try to do it before the release.

What would be really nice would be to be able to set the number of rows and columns - I have to produce products with varying keypad formats up to 6x8, which tends to be laborious to do in assembler.

Would you prefer it to see it as an example rather than having a library?Then you can adjust the number of lines as you wish...

How about an open source library then you get the best of both worlds

"open source library" = "example" :wink:

There is not reason not to include the original library though as it is useful and I don't want to have to cut and paste code (4x3 is fine as far as my application is concerned).

Except that it isn't in the form of a callable procedure. I think that an "example" should compile directly, and run on it's own, and serve two purposes: to test hardware, and to illustrate specifics. An "open source library" would be more like a toolkit, something in the form of a unit, with several callable procedures, and the procedures could be called directly without modification.

The problem with this, of course, is keeping "open source" libraries for C, Pascal, and Basic syncronized. :?
If you know what you're doing, you're not learning anything.
