Product Overview:
Innovati's 16-key Keypad A Module is designed to provide a range of versatile input functions. It can be directly controlled by Innovati’s BASIC Commander for various applications using simple connections. By setting different input modes, it can be converted rapidly to emulate various commonly used input interfaces, such as the common numeric inputs for calculators, English character inputs for mobile phones, hexadecimal inputs for engineering, or even a user-defined returned value for each key. In addition to the input options, the debounce time of the keys can be setup to avoid problems due to mechanical key bounce when the keys are pressed. The automatic repeat (auto-repeat) input can be set to generate a repeat input when a key is pressed and held down.
Applications:
