Keypad to binary

Embedded system to convert input from keypad to binary number

In Progress


A completely raw electronics projects for converting a keypad button input from a 3x4 Membrane Keypad into a 4 digit Binary output.


Module 1

KeyPad Controller

Submodule 1: Clock Circuit

This module will generate a 20-30Hz square wave which will be used along with submodule 2 to help control the keyboards input and help differentiate between the buttons on the keypad.

Items

  • 555 Timer IC chip
  • 120 nano Farads capacitor
  • 100 Ohms Resistor
  • 300k Ohms Resistor

Submodule 2: 3 bit Ring Counter

This module will ensure only 1 of the columns of the keypad will be used for taking an input at a certain time

Items

  • 3 D Flip Flops

Module 2

KeyPad Decoder

This module will take inputs from the keypad to decode it into Binary. It will work using around 10 AND Gates and a lot of diodes

Items

  • 10 AND Gates
  • Roughly 40 diodes

Module 3

Binary to 7 segment display

This module is used to produce a digit on a 7 Segment Display from 4 bit binary. This module will be used to display the output produced from the Keypad-to-Binary project

Items

  • 7 segment display
  • BCD to 7 segment IC
