hardware hack Need help in using 4x4 matrix Keypad on Orangepi Zero GPIO

[blprasad]

Hi All,

 

I am trying to use a 4x4 matrix keypad on Orange pi GPIO ,I am connecting the keypad with 8 GPIO's 4 GPIOs for rows, 4 for coloumns ,the problem I am facing is when I try to test the keypad few keys are read only on repeated attempts or pressing. The following is my code. Is this because of Hardware debouncing?. I don't have much knowledge on debouncing. I suspect there is a delay happening in reading and writing GPIOs , because of user process scheduling can be delayed. I don't think accesing GPIO at faster rate is not possible from user application. Please suggest me the best approach.   Please suggest me where I am doing wrong. I appreciate any help, thanks in advance.

Please do a search yourself next time. Google is easy to use, the search box in the forum too.

Right ! Especially That I've provided an example in the 4th post more than three years ago ...
