my lcd is setup is this
LiquidCrystal lcd(7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12);
most of the sketches I have seen start like this
LiquidCrystal lcd( 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7);
thefore I have to revese the typical code
lcd.setCursor(thisRow,thisCol);
to
lcd.setCursor(thisCol,thisRow);
what I'd expect from this code is that the keys that are pressed on the keypad will be shown on column "0" row "1".
