A library to manage multiple keypad instances (and compatible) as a single event queue.

Dependencies

This driver depends on:

  • Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>_

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://circuitpython.org/libraries>_ or individual libraries can be installed using circup <https://github.com/adafruit/circup>_.

Installing to a Connected CircuitPython Device with Circup

Make sure that you have circup installed in your Python environment. Install it with the following command if necessary:

.. code-block:: shell

pip3 install circup

With circup installed and your CircuitPython device connected use the following command to install:

.. code-block:: shell

circup install multi_keypad

Or the following command to update an existing version:

.. code-block:: shell

circup update

Usage Example

.. code-block:: python

import board
from multi_keypad import MultiKeypad
keys1 = keypad.Keys((board.GP3, board.GP7), value_when_pressed=False, pull=True)
keys2 = keypad.Keys((board.GP11,), value_when_pressed=False, pull=True)

mkp = MultiKeypad(keys1, keys2)
while True:
    event = mkp.next_event()
    if event:
        print(event)
