ATMega32 LCD and Keypad Interfacing Example

In previous example I showed a simple keypad programming example using C in Atmel Studio 7. It displays key value on a typical single seven segments display. We can add a character LCD as an output device.

In this programming example we use a 4x4 keypad matrix as a digital input, and a character LCD bases on HD44780 as an output device. A 20x4 character LCD is used to show information a key value.

Program starts up

Port C is 8-bit wide, connects to a 4x4 matrix keypad as shown in the picture above. Port D connects to a character LCD in 8-bit mode. Read/Write pin is ignored, and it's connects to ground as the LCD just accept the data/command from micro-controller.

Atmega32 operates at 16MHz supplies at +5V DC supply voltage.

C main program shows below. It requires LCD and Keypad driver files that I don't show them here.
