The 4×4 Matrix Keypad Module for Arduino & Raspberry Pi | 16-Button Input Keyboard provides a simple and reliable interface for user input. It features 16 tactile buttons arranged in a matrix format, requiring only 8 microcontroller pins for operation.
Key features
- 16 push buttons in 4×4 matrix layout
- Tactile feedback with audible click
- Matrix wiring saves microcontroller pins (8 vs 16)
- Durable membrane construction for long life
- Easy to interface with any microcontroller
- Standard 0-9, A-D, *, # layout
- Sticky backing for panel mounting
Good to know
- Use Keypad library by Mark Stanley for Arduino
- Connect rows to outputs and columns to inputs (or vice versa)
- Enable internal pull-ups on input pins for reliable reading
- Debounce in software or use Keypad library built-in debounce
- Can share row/column pins with other devices if careful
