Beginner need some advice with magstripe + keypad

Hi.

I bought my first Arduino Duemilanove earlier this week and I am really impressed of it. I have no experience of microprocessorprogramming, I usually program Vb.NET applications and i know some c/c++.

My first project is to make Arduino work with a MagstripeReader and a Matrix KeyPad. I found two sketchfiles on this forum but I can't make them work together. I have tested them separatly and they work perefect. I put them together so I don't have double of setup() and loop().

The Magstripe Sketch:

int reading = 0;            // Reading status
volatile int buffer[400];   // Buffer for data
volatile int i = 0;         // Buffer counter
volatile int bit = 0;       // global bit
char cardData[40];          // holds card info
int charCount = 0;          // counter for info
int DEBUG = 0;
int Play = 0;

pinMode(8, OUTPUT); // set a pin for buzzer output

  // reading of the clock and data feed

  attachInterrupt(1, writeBit, FALLING);

void buzz(int targetPin, long frequency, long length) {
  long delayValue = 1000000/frequency/2; // calculate the delay value between transitions
  //// 1 second's worth of microseconds, divided by the frequency, then split in half since
  //// there are two phases to each cycle
  long numCycles = frequency * length/ 1000; // calculate the number of cycles for proper timing
  //// multiply frequency, which is really cycles per second, by the number of seconds to 
  //// get the total number of cycles to produce
 for (long i=0; i < numCycles; i++){ // for the calculated length of time...
    digitalWrite(targetPin,HIGH); // write the buzzer pin high to push out the diaphram
    delayMicroseconds(delayValue); // wait for the calculated delay value
    digitalWrite(targetPin,LOW); // write the buzzer pin low to pull back the diaphram
    delayMicroseconds(delayValue); // wait againf or the calculated delay value
  }
}

And The Matrix KeyPad Sketch:


// keypad v0.1 (C)2007 Mark Stanley <mstanley@technologist.com>

// An example for testing the matrix keypad driver.

#include <keypad.h>

#define ROWS 4
#define COLS 3

char bufferkey;
keypad kpd = keypad(ROWS, COLS);

void setup()
{
  kpd.init();
}

void loop()
{
    char key = kpd.get_key();

    if(key != '\0')
    {


    }
}

I have organised the PinSettings for the KeyPad so they don't interrupt with the Magstripe pins.

Do any of you have any suggestions of how I can mix these two sketches?
