44 Keypad and LCD Interface with 89S52 Microcontroller

The 4-by-4 keypad is a commonly used interface circuit in embedded applications. This keypad has eight lines with 16 switches arranged in a matrix format. In this application, we will have the LCD of the PCAM+ display a number, 1 through 16, depending on which key is pressed on the keypad. We will need to use 19 of the 20 connecting wires in the kit:

Connect P3.7, P3.6, P3.5 of the 89S52 to the LCD section's RS, RW, EN pins respectively. Connect pins 0-7 of the LCD to the respective P0 port pins of the 89S52. Connect pins 0-7 of the Keypad to the respective P2 port pins of the 89S52.

Write the following code in 8051IDE:

Assemble the code and program it to the 89S52 on PCAM+ using the HandyProgUSB programmer. Power up the PCAM+ and try pressing buttons on the 44 keypad. You should see a number displayed for each different button pressed. End of Tutorial Now you can experiment with what you have learned. For example, can you adapt this keypad code to display the numbers on the 7-segment LEDs? to turn a motor back and forth? to display and then scroll text on the LCD? to display the text on your PC via RS232? How about doing these things from the IR remote control?
