Arduino Error 'keypadEvent' was not declared in this scope

dann11 · Apr 19, 2017

Hi! I am trying to use the keypad.addEventListener() to call an event I did use it with keypadEvent,and then compiling my code gives me an Error 'keypadEvent' was not declared in this scope. Can you please help me where might have I gone wrong.

Code:

#include <Keypad.h>

//pin assignments
int latchPin = 15;                    
int clockPin = 14;                    
int dataPin = 16;                     
int keySwitch = 9;                   
int ledActual = 17;                   
int ledTarget = 18;                  
int ledTactTime = 19;                



//global variables
byte digitBuffer[6] = {0};

int digitScan = 1;

byte valueKeypad = 0;

byte num = 0;

//keypad
const byte ROWS = 4; //four rows
const byte COLS = 4; //three columns
char keys[ROWS][COLS] = {
  {'1','2','3','A'},
  {'4','5','6','B'},
  {'7','8','9','C'},
  {'#','0','*','D'},
};
byte rowPins[ROWS] = {0 , 1, 2, 3}; //connect to the row pinouts of the keypad
byte colPins[COLS] = {4, 5, 6, 7};//nnect to the column pinouts of the keypad

Keypad keypad = Keypad(makeKeymap(keys), rowPins, colPins, ROWS, COLS );



//display 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9:
byte datArray[10] = {B01111101, B00100001, B01010111, B01110011, B00101011, B01111010, B01111110, B01100001, B01111111, B01111011};

  pinMode(clockPin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(dataPin, OUTPUT);

  pinMode(keySwitch, INPUT);

  keypad.addEventListener(keypadEvent);

add
void loop()
{
//the keypad case statements here...
}
to your code module.

I just did, but I have found the same error..

What happens when you write

keypad.addEventListener(keypadEvent);

as
within the void loop()
{
keypad.addEventListener(keypadEvent);
........
}

and remove it from setup()

I have made it worked. It just re-arranged each function. Thanks for the help anyway.

Arduino "no_Key" can it be used in multiple function

Hi! I am trying to used the "no_key" of arduino keypad with multiple function, as the first function is called, it works perfectly, but when the next function(also uses the "no_key") is called keypad is no longer responding. Can the "no_key" be used in multiple function?

first function:

Code:

void keypadPress()
{
  
  char key = keypad.getKey();

  if(keypadActionFlag == true)
   {
      if(key != NO_KEY)
         {

            if (key == 'A')
              {
                  
                  digitalWrite(ledActual, HIGH);
                  digitalWrite(ledTarget, LOW);
                  digitalWrite(ledTactTime, LOW);
        
                  keypadActualFlag = true;
        
                  //transmit data to the display - Actual Value
              }

           else if (key == '3')
              {
                
                digitalWrite(ledTarget, HIGH);
                digitalWrite(ledActual, LOW);
                digitalWrite(ledTactTime, LOW);
        
                keypadTargetFlag = true;
       
                //transmit data to the display - Target Value
              }

          else if (key == '2')
              {
 
                digitalWrite(ledTactTime, HIGH);
                digitalWrite(ledActual, LOW);
                digitalWrite(ledTarget, LOW);
                
                keypadTactTimeFlag = true;
        
                //transmit data to the display - Time Value
              }
   
         else if (key == '1')
              {
                digitalWrite(ledActual, LOW);
                digitalWrite(ledTarget, LOW);
                digitalWrite(ledTactTime, LOW);
                
                keypadActualFlag = false;
                keypadTargetFlag = false;
                keypadTactTimeFlag = false;
                
                //save the Actual Value to the Actual Variable    
              }

          else
              {
                  //do nothing
              }
  
    }
   }

   else
   {
    //do nothing
   }
}
