Welcome to the Parallax Forum

You may want to try some like this


One VAR IN0
TWO VAR IN1

IF One = 1 THEN ' What ever you want to do

You may also want to try some like this

IF One = 1 THEN
IF Two = 1 THEN

' You code here

ELSE
IF it dose not match then what to next

This would give you the first two # 12

Nuts and Volts Column #22 (http://www.parallax.com/tabid/272/Default.aspx) shows how to scan a 4x4 keypad and return a "key number". The same logic works for a 3x4 keypad.

A lot depends on how you want the keypad to behave. How does the user indicate that the password is beginning or ending? With a 3x4 keypad, the extra two keys are often used to indicate "clear" and "enter". Is that what you want? Do you want the keypad to timeout? In other words, clear itself after a specific period of time. Do you want to process the password as it's entered or wait for the whole thing to be entered before processing? What's the maximum number of digits in the password? Is the number of digits fixed? You need to say more about the kind of behavior you want for your password keypad.
