The positive side of the capacitor cap is attached to Digital pin 2 (cap charger) via the resistor and directly connected to analog pin 5.
This reads the cap val. The other end of the capacitor is connected to ground.
 If you read the completed code the notes on the code lines will help you.

Hi atricio The keypad schematic is on page 1 of this thread. I do not have a full circuit schematic but it is obvious from the code where everything goes. It should not be too hard to follow.
Good luck

Here is the completed code although I have set the state to unlocked when the system starts now because I intend to have a rechargeable battery in the case the alarm will be housed in. If I were to run it without I would set the state to locked. I have added another pin for the capacitor charging but would stress the need for a large value resistor(I used 100k) for the capacitor.
Jeremy

Code:
/* This sketch uses a 16 key 4X4 analog keypad. The password is 1234 press #
 to check the password. if correct the Red LED goes out and the Green Led comes on
 to rearm the alarm press *
 If when the system is in the disarmed state the C key is pressed both LED's light
 and you can enter a new 4 digit password.
 The sensor was triggering the alarm when armed from the unlocked state but was solved by using a capacitor to hold a small charge
which decays slowly when the alarm is set allowing the PIR sensor time to settle down.

YES YES YES
It works. The answer was staring me in the face. It did not need any more states just 2 lines of code, a Capacitor and a resistor.
All I did was add a 220uf cap via 100k resistor to the yellow led. I then put a wire from the capacitor to A5. the current draw is so tiny but the cap does slowly charge. When you arm the system the reading on A5 drops over time to allow the PIR to settle down before the capval  drops to 3.
I am aware that I owe you a massive thank you Liudr for your patience with a novice and  for you spending your time to write some code for me. Also for pointing me in the right direction.
Again Thank you
Jeremy

Hi Liudr. The PIR is basically just a switch which sends out a low when there is no movement and a High when movement is detected. It will stay high for about 5 seconds after it stops seeing motion. The time the PIR stays high can be adjusted using an on board trimmer pot. This I will eventually make it 30 seconds for the siren (alarm Pin) to sound. Obviously i will have to change the timing on this part of the sketch
Code:
void scanning(){
  motion=analogRead(sensePin);
  //Serial.println(motion);// used for debugging
  unsigned long startTime = 0;
  unsigned long interval = 6000;

  if ((locked==1)&&(motion>=500)){// if the alarm is on read the sensor
    if (startTime + interval < millis()) {
      digitalWrite(alarmPin, HIGH);
    }//added
  }
  else
  {//added
    digitalWrite (alarmPin, LOW);

  }


}
the unsigned long interval will be changed to accommodate the time needed for the PIR to go low. I have tried to add a timer state called alert as you suggested but have not been able to get it to work. I know I am missing something simple but I just cannot sort it out. I will keep trying though.

Hi I have now got it working but before I throw my hat in the air there is one slight problem. The PIR sensor takes 5 seconds to calibrate. When you power the system it works just fine but when you press the arming button on the keypad the alarm goes off because the sensor is giving a High signal.
Can anyone suggest anything that will stop it please.

/* This sketch uses a 16 key 4X4 analog keypad. The password is 1234 press #

 If when the system is in the disarmed state the C key is pressed both LED's light
 and you can enter a new 4 digit password.
 The sensor part is still a work in progress.

Hi all. I am still unable to get the sensor to work in the sketch. I have tried all sorts but to no avail. I have been playing with state machines until I almost used my Arduino for a Frisbee. I managed to stop myself though.
On another note
I got one of those 4x4 membrane keypads yesterday for £3 on that well known auction site. I have stuck a few resistors on a breadboard and thanks to Liudr's libraries and sketch have it displaying all of the symbols perfectly.

Hi HazardsMind. I did put the sensor in in various places in the get password case because i could only get a reading on it there. I found it caused problems with the keypad function.
The problem seems to be in the case get password part of the sketch where the program sits for the majority of the time waiting for a key press.I wherever the sensor is in the sketch the keypad is slow to respond and I noticed that when the alarm was triggered the led on pin 11 was very dim. I have tried giving the motion sensor its own power supply with the grounds connected but this makes no difference. I tried the led on a different pin with the same result. I was trying to work out how to have the sketch sit waiting in a different part lets call it case check_sensor but I am not able to do this. My programming skills have been learned over the last few months with some library books and the internet.
 I used to drive a Bus and my hobby is electronics and now I am learning to program my arduino.
The trouble with me is I always think     "How hard can it be?"
Learning to write code is like learning to speak Chinese with a Spanish phrase book. But I am picking it up slowly.

Hi and a big thank you to liudr. Here is the code I am now using. I have got over the keypad press turning the alarm off. I have added another state called disarmed and the system stops at that point until the tactile button is pressed. This is fine but the motion sensor is a different story. I have tried instead to use a digital pin to read the sensor as it gives a clear 1 if motion detected and a 0 if not. I have tried using it in different places in the sketch but it is causing problems with the key presses(it was doing the same with an analog input) Also I can use a tactile button to simulate the motion sensor because it keeps going high with me moving my hands around.
It is getting there but not quite. I will keep trying to get the sensor working though.

Good! Yes, that feature can be turned on and off inside the alarm case. I don't kow what you exactly wanted.
Hi liudr. What I wanted is to attach a PIR sensor and have the value it senses for movement set the alarm buzzer off for say 30 seconds. The keypad needs the correct code to disarm the alarm buzzer and ignore the PIR sensing or turn off the PIR sensor using a transistor. If i use a PNP transistor setting a digital pin HIGH via a resistor to the base of the transistor would cut the power to the PIR sensor.
Code:
if (pointer==5)
      {
        buffer[pointer]=0;
        pointer=0;
        if (!strcmp(buffer,password))
        {
          Serial.println("Authenticated!");
          system_state=cleared;
          cleared_starting=millis();
II hope this is a help

        else

Hi liudr. Thank you for the revised code. This does work but when the alarm is tripped any keypad press turns the alarm off. I tried it this morning. I am reading all I can find about state machines too.
Perhaps I should leave it today as I have had more injections into my spine and they hurt badly. I may have a look later if I feel better. I hope I am not taking up too much of your time on this.
Regards
Jeremy

Thank you liudr. I have had a quick look at your code. Before i even try to use it I will have a read about state machines. I will get back to you and let you know how I get on.
regards
Jeremy
