Introduction
In this Project, we shall build a simple calculator using the keypad as an
input and the LCD as an output peripheral.
Basic working
4x4 Keypad shall be used as a primary input device for embedded
microcontrollers. The keypad consist of a number of switches,
connected in a row/column arrangement as shown in Fig. It will
perform basic arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction,
multiplication and division. There will be an on/off button on the
keypad. In order for the microcontroller to scan the keypad, it outputs
a nibble to force one (only one) of the columns low and then reads the
rows to see if any buttons in that column have been pressed.
