Arduino Keypad and LCD

Interfacing with Code
by ee-diary • September 21, 2020 •  3 min read 0

In this Arduino electronics tutorial, you will learn how

to interface Arduino with keypad and LCD, how to use
Arduino Keypad library and how to code Arduino
Keypad with LCD. Here we will be using 4x3 Keypad
and 16x2 LCD. Also at the end you will find video
demonstration of how it works.

4x3 Keypad, LCD and Arduino on Breadboard

Below picture shows 4x3 membrane keypad, 16x2

LCD with Arduino UNO on a breadboard.

The interfacing is explained using wiring diagram

below.

We will be using 4x3 Keypad as shown in the figure

below. This type of keypad is called membrane
keypad and are inexpensive and popular among
hobbies. The surface of membrane keypad are soft
and flexible and when pressed create a connection
with the underlying circuit. Underneath each key is a
coil shaped are inductors which induces
current/voltage signal when a key is pressed.

Membrane keypad are build using 3 layers. The top

and bottom layer are made up of conductive
materials while the middle one is non-conductive.
When key is not pressed or that is key is open, the
middle layer prevents the top and bottom from
coming into contract. But when key is pressed and
closed, the middle layer creates a small hole that
allows the top and bottom layer to come into contact
and induce current/voltage.

As you can see from the figure, the keypad has 7 pins
with 4 rows and 3 columns. The keypad starts with
rows and ends with the column. In the figure, the first
4 rows are labelled as R1, R2, R3 and R4 and the 3
columns are labelled as C1, C2 and C3.
