Interfacing 4×4 keypad with LCD using 8051 microcontroller

Interfacing 4×4 keypad with LCD using 8051 microcontroller is very important step to enter big project. 
So here I have discussed regarding Interfacing4x4 keypad with LCD using 8051 microcontroller. In my previous post, I was discussed on Interfacing LCD with 8051 microcontroller using Mikro c for 8051. Now we can see how easily we interface keypad and send the data to LCD for display using MikroC for 8051.
 

Project Detail:

In this project we use AT 89c51 microcontroller and interface 4×4 keypad at port 0 and LCD at port 2.

Interfacing 4x4 keypad with LCD using 8051 microcontroller

From this Proteous simulation circuit diagram we can see that four resistors R1,R2,R3,R4 are connected in P0.0,P0.1,P0.2,P0.3. These resistors are work as a pull-up resistor. Because we know for input/output operation of port0 of 8051 microcontroller need pull-up resistor. For more details regarding ports in 8051 read my previous post “Ports in 9051 microcontroller”.

Here you see the complete embedded C code written in Mikroc for 8051 about this project “Interfacing 4×4 keypad with LCD using 8051 microcontroller”
