| Sharing/multiplexing GLCD (128X64) data pin with keypad |
 Posted: Sat Nov 22, 2014 12:15 am |

Hello every one,
I search in this forum and google for LCD and keypad multiplexing.
I found 4X20 and 2X16 lcd display are multiplexed with 4X4 keypad.
They used 4 data pins of lcd with 4 pins of keypad (also use diode), and the rest 4 pins of keypad are connected to another pins of micro controller.
As GLCD (128X64) used 8 data pins for operation, can I use these 8 data pins for 4X4 keypad ?
Or any other solution for Glcd and keypad, so that we can minimize the I/O pins requirement for this.
Thanks |

The way the multiplexing is done, is that with the diodes, when there is no input drive on a 'line' of the keypad (from the other pins), the 'output' side of the keypad does nothing - the diode allows it to go high or low whatever is happening on the keypad. This allows these four lines of the keypad to be used when this is the case, for other things like driving an LCD. This approach can be applied to any line, provided it is not 'in use' when the keypad is being scanned.
So, potentially, yes. You could use four of the LCD data lines as the lines to read the keypad. You could save another pin, if instead of using four output pins on the PIC to drive the LCD, you used two lines feeding a 2-4 line decoder. Then (being sneaky), used a bit of logic, so this is only enabled when both the GLCD CS lines are low. Done like this you could have a keypad using only two extra wires.
However remember this means that the timing of your code _must_ ensure that keypad scans and LCD I/O are always done at separate times. |

If you want to be really,really sneaky( and frugal), you only need ONE wire to read a 4by4 kpd! By proper selection of resistors on the row and columns of the kpd you create a 'resistive divider', then read a key pressed' by reading the analog voltage.
Of course you need a free analog input pin on the PIC.
This was done a long,long time ago when techs had to be 'creative'.
just another way to do it.

Hi,
I use this schematic and driver.

Thanks anglab
which GLCD driver did you use?
Would you like to provide me diode polarity in this circuit. |

I use HDM64GS12.c driver.
Connection schematic.
