Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I want to use a 4x5 matrix keypad for a project and I was wondering if there is a way to expand the keypad command to interface this? Thanks! Edited by KRZ3 2015-05-22

I wonder if you could use a I2C port expander to do this. Unfortunately you would need more that 8 bits. Not aware of being able to use the built in command to go more that 4 x 4. Maybe one of the Cfuntioneer gurus would be able to implement a matrix keyboard function with variable rows and columns.

Yeah, I figured it wouldn't be possible. Is there a way to see the code and edit it for a 4x5 matrix? Any Cfunction gurus out there want to tackle it? I would think this would be useful to several people. Unfortunately my skills are limited.
