Hi i looking for some advice on using the key pad.
when i enter a key press, that number in binary is output to the leds.
what i need to learn is for example if i press the number three,just the third
led comes on in decimal, and not binary,can this be done using F/C V7 ?
Thanks for looking

Hello Astro1234,

Yes this should be easy enough. all you have to do is collect the number from the keypad and then shift 1 by the number.

output = 1 << number

You might have to subtract 1 from number otherwise this will light LED 1 when number is equal to 0, LED 4 when number is equal to 3.

for example in pseudocode

CompMacro number = Keypad::getNumber()
Decision number > 0
Yes: Calculation output = 1 << (number - 1)
No: Calculation output = 0
