hey guys, im trouble to find project of using 4x3 keypad to control the speed of motor (pwm). anyone can share ? or give some idea how to map the keypad number for pwm. thanx in advanced ...

my project idea is to key in number from keypad ("1234") then use ("#") to enter the number and map it to pwm... im using dc motor as for my project..

Did you by any chance do a search in the forum for 4x3 keypad? Me and a few other people helped one guy with a keypad, and his code is somewhere in this forum. You just need to find it.

yeay, i did do my search on keypad prob....but no related coding for my prob... .....

You did a search in this forum and found nothing? Funny, because I found this. It's not 100% what you want to do but if you tweak it, it will work.

im trouble in mapping whereby there is error "invalid conversion from char to long int"....... can anyone help me... thx in advanced

I fixed your error, but I can't make heads or tails of what you are trying to do with the keypad data. I mean I KNOW what you want to do, but your code has no relation with the keypad data. How are you calculating the RPM? 

"NewData" is the new mapped variable from the keypad data. Instead of mapping the data, why not just enter 0 - 255 and get rid of the map altogether?
