keypad_demux
– Support for scanning key matrices that use a demultiplexer
The keypad_demux
module provides native support to scan a matrix of keys or buttons
where either the row or column axis is controlled by a demultiplexer or decoder IC
such as the 74LS138 or 74LS238. In this arrangement a binary input value
determines which column (or row) to select, thereby reducing the number of input pins.
For example the input 101 would select line 5 in the matrix.
Set columns_to_anodes
to False
with a non-inverting demultiplexer
which drives the selected line high.
Set transpose
to True
if columns are multiplexed rather than rows.

Create a
keypad.Keys
object that will scan the key matrix attached to the given row and column pins. There should not be any external pull-ups or pull-downs on the matrix:DemuxKeyMatrix
enables internal pull-ups or pull-downs on the pins as necessary.The keys are numbered sequentially from zero. A key number can be computed by
row * len(column_pins) + column
.An
keypad.EventQueue
is created when this object is created and is available in theevents
attribute.- Parameters:
row_addr_pins (Sequence[microcontroller.Pin]) – The pins attached to the rows demultiplexer. If your columns are multiplexed, set
transpose
toTrue
.column_pins (Sequence[microcontroller.Pin]) – The pins attached to the columns.
columns_to_anodes (bool) – Default
True
. If the matrix uses diodes, the diode anodes are typically connected to the column pins with the cathodes connected to the row pins. This implies an inverting multiplexer that drives the selected row pin low. If your diodes are reversed, with a non-inverting multiplexer that drives the selected row high, setcolumns_to_anodes
toFalse
. Iftranspose
isTrue
the sense of columns and rows are reversed here.transpose (bool) – Default
False
. If your matrix is multiplexed on columns rather than rows, settranspose
toTrue
. This swaps the meaning ofrow_addr_pins
tocolumn_addr_pins
;column_pins
torow_pins
; andcolumns_to_anodes
torows_to_anodes
.interval (float) – Scan keys no more often than
interval
to allow for debouncing.interval
is in float seconds. The default is 0.020 (20 msecs).max_events (int) – maximum size of
events
keypad.EventQueue
: maximum number of key transition events that are saved. Must be >= 1. If a new event arrives when the queue is full, the oldest event is discarded.debounce_threshold (int) – Emit events for state changes only after a key has been in the respective state for
debounce_threshold
times on average. Successive measurements are spaced apart byinterval
seconds. The default is 1, which resolves immediately. The maximum is 127.
- __enter__() DemuxKeyMatrix
No-op used by Context Managers.
- __exit__() None
Automatically deinitializes when exiting a context. See Lifetime and ContextManagers for more info.
- reset() None
Reset the internal state of the scanner to assume that all keys are now released. Any key that is already pressed at the time of this call will therefore immediately cause a new key-pressed event to occur. For instance, if you call
reset()
immediately after creating aDemuxKeyMatrix
object at the beginning of your program, the events it generates will let you determine which keys were being held down at program start.
- key_number_to_row_column(key_number: int) Tuple[int]
Return the row and column for the given key number. The row is
key_number // len(column_pins)
. The column iskey_number % len(column_pins)
.- Returns:
(row, column)
- Return type:
Tuple[int]
- row_column_to_key_number(row: int, column: int) int
Return the key number for a given row and column. The key number is
row * len(column_pins) + column
.
- events: keypad.EventQueue
The
keypad.EventQueue
associated with thiskeypad.Keys
object. (read-only)
