Hello gents
Some of you had been following the progress of the 'one input keypad'.
Im here to say weve come to a great working solution. The circuit is so easy to build and adapt to different numbers of switches.
The code, well the code is ridiculously easy.
<A href='http://www.lancer3.com/picaxe.htm' Target=_Blank>External Web Link</a>
Ive posted the final concept on its own page of my site with a link on it to the old page with the first concepts to where we are now.
Early on in the project, BeanieBots suggested an equation that, at first, wasnt feasible due to the circuit but in the end became the basis for the final equation. Id like to thank him for his input.
Premelecs suggested circuit was used as a jumping off point for the final circuit. Thank you Premelec.
The final concept was a collaboration between BCJKiwi and I. He provided invaluable expertise and testing. Its been a pleasure thus far working with him and I hope we can work together again in the future.
Ive been working with the picaxe for almost a month now. It is my first run into programming. Im a tinkerer by nature as Im sure alot of us are.
Ive seen beginners go into forums to ask questions and get responses like 'learn the stuff before you come in here' or 'are you stupid, you cant do that'. I must say I have not seen even an inkling of that here. The users here seem to have a mentoring attitude, not a diety one. They like to help. These forums have made my experience thus far with the Picaxe system outstanding.
Id like to thank everyone on these forums for being so helpful and courteous.
