save and overwrite data into keypad

mrah96 · September 21, 2018, 8:38am

we are developing a low cost spectrophotometer , the device use 4x4 keypad , arduino uno, keypad, 2 servo motor (one to place sample and another one for grading), bluetooth module
abcd is use to choose sample
1,2,3,4 is use to change the grading degree

we have pre-installed data in the keypad ( button : 1,2,3,4,5) but we need the buttons to be able to overwrite and save it

can someone help us with this problem. thank you.

I don't understand. I am not aware of any keypads that have the ability to store data.

GolamMostafa · September 21, 2018, 8:55am

Can you please satisfy my queries by providing answers to the following questions:?

1. You have 4x4 keypad. You have another item in the list – keypad. What is this?

2. You are using labels a b c d as command keys; but, the labels in your actual keypad are seen as A B C D. Why are they different? We hope that the ASCII codes of the charcaters a b c d are different from that of A B C D.

3. You are also using 1 2 3 4 as command keys for specific tasks. What are these buttons: 1 2 3 4 5?

4. Can you clarify the meaning of this statement: ‘we have pre-installed data in the keypad ( button : 1,2,3,4,5) but we need the buttons to be able to overwrite and save it’ using 2 or 3 sentences.

5. We hope that you are well known of the fact that hardware UART Port of UNO is permanently engaged with IDE and Serial Monitor. If so, why have you used the same UART Port for the Bluetooth Module? Even it works, the veterans term it as a bad practice?

johnwasser · September 21, 2018, 1:26pm

It looks like you have assigned meanings to keys '1', '2', '3', '4', and '5'

1 = Angle:25
2 = Angle:120
3 = Angle:50
4 = Angle:90
5 = Angle:78

And you have buttons to increase and decrease the angle. Now you want to change the angles assigned to the five buttons.

What I would do is store the assigned angles in EEPROM. Then you can read the assignments out of EEPROM in setup() and use the assigned values instead of constants.

Then I would change the sketch to switch to the assigned angle when the button is RELEASED. If the button is pressed and HELD for more than two seconds, assign the current angle to that button.

To change a button, select an angle by using one of the pre-assigned buttons and the UP/DOWN buttons to get to the desired angle, then hold down the button to which you want to assign the value. After two seconds the value is assigned to that button and written to EEPROM. When the button is released, the newly assigned angle is used.

Use an array of 'byte' (0-255) to store the angles. The 'byte' type can easily be saved and restored from EEPROM.

apologies for the confusion.
