Keypad chip EDE1144
I need help!
I just connected a 4x4 keypad to an EDE1144 serial keypad decoder.
According to the data sheet, the 1144 will return ASCII $30, dec 48, ("0")
for key 0 thru ASCII $39, dec 57, ("9") for key 9. Then it returns ASCII
$41,dec 65, ("A") for key 10 thru ASCII $46, dec 70, ("F") for key 15.
I want to convert these to numbers 1 thru 16 in a BS1 program. The
following code is what I thought would work, but it doesn't, unless I have a
hardware problem:
'KEY IS A BYTE
'AT SEVERAL PLACES WE READ THE INPUT WITH
SERIN 7,N2400,KEY
GOSUB FIXKEY
...
...
FIXKEY:
IF KEY>57 THEN BIGNUM
KEY=KEY-47
GOTO ALLDUN
BIGNUM:
KEY=KEY-54
ALLDUN: RETURN
Can someone see a problem with this code?
Thanks in advance,
Ray McArthur

Ray -
Rather than get into the guts of your problem, let me offer this:
Todd Peterson (Prez. of E-Lab) recently offed a free applications CD for
their products, just recently. I HOPE it can be read by ALL Windows
systems; Win3.x
INCLUSIVE <ahem>.
[noparse][[/noparse]M-Soft flame on]
There seems to be a MASS migration by lotsa folks, AWAY from Win3.x; the
LAST stable opsys that Micro-Snort ever wrote ! YMMV on that subjectivity !
Thanks $Billy$Boy$ <grrrrrr>.
[noparse][[/noparse]M-Soft flame off; no cross-flames invited]
So, you might want to grab that if you have a day or so to spare. Otherwise,
I'm sure they have a BS-1 example they can ship you by e-mail tomorrow.
Better to go to the source on this one, since the data sheet doesn't show
a BS-1 example, and I/we would be interpreting the data sheet as much as you
have <shrug>.

I don't see a logic problem with the code. You may want to try the
following to help figure out what's going on.
'KEY IS A BYTE
'AT SEVERAL PLACES WE READ THE INPUT WITH
SERIN 7,N2400,KEY
DEBUG CR,@KEY," ",$KEY ' see what we got
GOSUB FIXKEY
...
...
FIXKEY:
' IF KEY>57 THEN BIGNUM
IF KEY>"9" THEN BIGNUM
' KEY=KEY-47
KEY=KEY-"0"
GOTO ALLDUN
BIGNUM:
KEY=KEY-"A"+10
' ALLDUN: RETURN
ALLDUN:
DEBUG " ",#KEY," ",$KEY ' see what we converted it to
KEY = KEY + 1 ' convert 0 - 15 to 1 - 16
DEBUG " ",#KEY," ",$KEY ' see what we converted it to
RETURN
I can't find where the '1144 datasheet comes right out and says it,
but my reading of it implies the serial data is transmitted with
"true" logic levels vice "inverted", so you may also want to try
your SERIN statement this way if the '1144 serial output goes
directly to your BS1:
SERIN 7,T2400,KEY
I assume you've got the '1144 strapped to 2400 baud and are
executing the SERIN only upon active "data valid" output.

Thanks for your effort and the suggestions/questions. Yes, the baud pin is
grounded. The data sheet that came with the IC (page 6) states N-8-1. It
also states that serial usage "involves the use of Data Valid signal.." ,
but I am ignoring that pin, just waiting for input with serin. It is
possible that there is garbage being outputted before data valid comes
alive? Maybe it's time to call elab?
I guess the next step is to read the keypad in a stand alone program, trying
my code and your suggestions without the confusion of the larger program.
Originally, the program used Rentron's Ser-Key, but it needed more than 12
keys for full functionality.
Thanks,

I believe I spoke recently with the original author of this thread, but if
not let me clarify a couple of points that have come up: (1) yes, the
serial output format is non-inverted N-8-1, and (2) the Data Valid signal
doesn't have to be used; if it is not used then your Stamp will need to sit
in the serial receive loop until the start bit is detected. If, later on,
you decide that you need the Stamp to be doing other things besides waiting
for a keypress, then just periodically poll the Data Valid pin. Once it
changes state you'll have time to get to the serial inout instruction prior
to the EDE1144 beginning the data transmission (a delay was built in for
this exact purpose).
Also, someone replying on this thread mentioned our datasheet and asked if
it was Win3.1 compatible. It is; in fact, there are two directories, one
for Win3.1, and another for 95/98. Anyone that would like a copy of this
CD-ROM containing datasheets for each of our IC's just send me your e-mail
address off-list at toddp@e...

Just to be sure we're communicating...the N-8-1 means the bytes are
transmitted with (N)no parity bits, (8)eight data bits, and (1)one
stop bit. This has nothing to do with whether the logic level is
inverted or true ("non-inverted", the term Todd used, is synonymous
with "true" as used in the BS1 manual). So you definitely want
T2400, not N2400.

I'd use the Data Valid indication at this point in the development,
then perhaps yank it later when the communication gremlins are
worked out. At least it would tell you when the '1144 is about to
send serial data, which would let you know when the Stamp should be
responding to it. If you have a pin to spare, I'd do something like:
dataValid LABEL PIN6
WAIT_FOR_KEY:
IF dataValid = 0 THEN WAIT_FOR_KEY ' assumes DV active high (?)
SERIN 7,T2400,KEY
DEBUG CR,@KEY," ",$KEY ' see what we got
GOSUB FIXKEY
...
...
RETURN
FIXKEY:
IF KEY>"9" THEN BIGNUM
KEY=KEY-"0"
GOTO ALLDUN
BIGNUM:
KEY=KEY-"A"+10
ALLDUN:
DEBUG " ",#KEY," ",$KEY ' see what we converted it to
KEY = KEY + 1 ' convert 0 - 15 to 1 - 16
DEBUG " ",#KEY," ",$KEY ' see what we converted it to
RETURN
Steve
*** PROBLEM SOLVED, IT WAS ME! ***
Had I read Todd's message more carefully, or tried your suggestion, I would
have saved much time. I ran the output to a standalone program with a BS1,
got weird characters. Then hauled it to the cellar and viewed output with a
scope....it was non-inverted "true" as you and Todd said. Changed to serin
T2400, problem fixed. The chip works great!
Thanks,
