The readings are unstable on the Uno R4 board.

[eMUQI]

Has anyone tried using this library on the Uno R4 board? I attempted to use the code below, but the data obtained was very unstable and the serial monitor kept printing 1. Although there was a response when pressing the button, it cannot be used for practical applications on the R4 board.

// Include the Keypad library
#include <Keypad.h>

// Define the number of rows and columns in the keypad
const byte ROWS = 4;
const byte COLS = 4;

// Define the keys on the keypad
char keys[ROWS][COLS] = {
  { '1', '2', '3', 'A' },
  { '4', '5', '6', 'B' },
  { '7', '8', '9', 'C' },
  { '*', '0', '#', 'D' }
};

// Define the pins connected to the rows and columns of the keypad

byte rowPins[ROWS] = { 9, 8, 7, 6 };
byte colPins[COLS] = { 5, 4, 3, 2 };



//Create an object of keypad
Keypad keypad = Keypad(makeKeymap(keys), rowPins, colPins, ROWS, COLS);

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  char key = keypad.getKey();  // Read the key

  // If a key is pressed, print the key on the serial monitor
  if (key) {
    Serial.print("Key Pressed : ");
    Serial.println(key);
  }
}

I also had this problem, and when I implemented and tested the scanKeys() function of the library directly in main.c, the problem disappeared.

However, when we added #include <Keypad.h>, the same problem occurred, and it is confirmed that the problem occurred in the macro part of the header below. ` Keypad.h

// bperrybap - Thanks for a well reasoned argument and the following macro(s). // See http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,142041.msg1069480.html#msg1069480 #ifndef INPUT_PULLUP #warning "Using pinMode() INPUT_PULLUP AVR emulation" #define INPUT_PULLUP 0x2 // #define pinMode(_pin, _mode) _mypinMode(_pin, _mode) <<--- UNO R4 error #define _mypinMode(_pin, _mode)
do {
if(_mode == INPUT_PULLUP)
pinMode(_pin, INPUT);
digitalWrite(_pin, 1);
if(_mode != INPUT_PULLUP)
pinMode(_pin, _mode);
}while(0) #endif

` When I modified it as above, it worked normally. The above macro is not working properly on UNO R4, and it seems to interfere with pull-up functionality.

+If the error still occurs, you need to comment out the entire macro.

Hello,

I have the same issue with Giga but there was some helpfull info: Change Keypad.h: #ifndef INPUT_PULLUP to: #if ! (defined(INPUT_PULLUP) || (ARDUINO_API_VERSION >= 10000)) It works for me.

Thanks @nyk-yeon, this solved the problem I had with the R4 Wifi. Its suprising that a year after you identified the bug/solution the libraries haven't been updated or fixed. This issue is still plaging users of that keypad as of May 5, 2024.
