4x3 keypad via pcf8574. How can I reboot on "*"

[kaplah]

If this was a button I'd wire a reset. Unfortunately I'm using a pcf8574 to wire a keypad to an arduino nano 33 iot (needed the io, and I couldn't get the keypad to work properly when directly connected).

I need the arduino to reset stopping all current functions when I hit *. I can't seem to get this working properly. This does compile and my motors work great. My issue is just this one problem.

Restated: How do I break out of my program at any point on "*"?

Hi, @kaplah
The mixMaster () function has very large delays.
Delay stops processing completely, preventing any further action from being detected while it lasts.
Redo the routines with delay using millis ();

Are you using the analog pins for a purpose?
In modules with Atmeaga, they can be used as digital pins, I believe that in nano 33 IOT, they can also be used.
I'll see if I can find out in the datasheet deo nano 33 IOT.

Several comments beyond using millis() in place of delay(). Check out the Blink Without Delay example in the IDE (File->examples->02.Digital->Blink Without Delay)

You should also check out the several things at the same time tutorial

Look into arrays... Your code could be vastly simplified since all you ever do is call mixMaster() with different parameters.

Also, it is very inefficient to convert a single char to a String just to compare it to another single char String. Just do the comparison directly (notice the single quotes, not double quotes)

//    if (String(keys[idx]) != "N")
    if (keys[idx]) != 'N')
    {
    ...

You are also missing some trailing ';' on a few of your lines
