Hobby Components SmartLCD Keypad Kit (HCKITS0058)

The SmartLCD Keypad Kit is an optional add-on for the Hobby Components Smart LCD (HCMODU0122). When constructed this add-on board connects to the SmartLCD's keypad header using a single 4 way cable (supplied). Once connected it adds the additional features of keypad control (up, down, left, right, select, and back) and audible output to your end application.

Access to button states and speaker output is then available via the SmartLCD's I2C or UART interfaces using its built-in commands (See the SmartLCD's manual for more information)


Image


Features:

Product code: HCKITS0058
Connects to the Smart LCD to add keypad input and speaker output to your application - no additional pins required
Control of keypad and speaker is done through existing Smart LCD serial commands.
Adds UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, SELECT, and BACK keypad control.
Easy to solder through-hole components.
Designed to allow panel mounting.

Build Guide:

Resistors

Image


Locate the following pads on the PCB and solder the appropriate resistors in place.

R8 Resistor Value: 10K (BROWN, BLACK, BLACK, RED, BROWN)

R7 Resistor Value: 5.6K (GREEN, BLUE, BLACK, BROWN, BROWN)

R6 Resistor Value: 3.6K (ORANGE, BLUE, BLACK, BROWN, BROWN)

R5 Resistor Value: 2.2K (RED, RED, BLACK, BROWN, BROWN)

R4 Resistor Value: 1.8K (BROWN, GRAY, BLACK, BROWN, BROWN)

R3 Resistor Value: 10K (BROWN, BLACK, BLACK, RED, BROWN)

R2 Resistor Value: 1K (BROWN, BLACK, BLACK, BROWN, BROWN)

R1 Resistor Value: 100R (BROWN, BLACK, BLACK, BLACK, BROWN)



4 way R/A header pins

Image

The 4 way header can be soldered to the either the upper or lower side of the PCB depending on your preference. Soldering tip - Solder just 1 pad first then check to make sure the header is flat against the PCB. If it isn't it will be easier to adjust. Once level the remaining 3 pads can be soldered.



Speaker

Image

Solder the speaker to pad SP1. Note that the speaker should be orientated so that the '+' symbol on the speaker is on the same side as the '+' symbol on the PCB.



Transistor

Image

Solder the transistor to pad Q1. Note that the transistor should be orientated so that the flat side of it's case matches the flat side of its PCB symbol.



Switches

Image

Solder the six 12mm x 12mm push switches to pads SW1, SW2, SW3, SW4, SW5, and SW6. Note the orientation of the pins in the above diagram.



Switch caps

Image

Finally, add the caps to the push buttons so that they match the above image.

Afternoon,

Is it possible for a circuit diagram please ?
Is this just various resistor divider networks to the analogue pin ?

Regards

Steve

I've added the schematic to the bottom of the first post.

Yes that's correct.

Hi Andrew

There is a typo on the schematic vs the drawing

The Module shows the following :-

SW3 as "DOWN" SW3 on the Schematic is "RIGHT"
SW4 as "RIGHT" SW4 on the Schematic is "DOWN"

when Testing

Right gives 4K Ohms
Down gives 7.6K Ohms

Regards

steve

Thanks for pointing it out. It looks like I accidently uploaded the schematic for a surface mount version. I've now replaced it with the through-hole version which looks to be in the correct order. Sorry for the confusion.
