How to input digits with Flowcode

[Memo]

Hello
I need to input 3 digits (ie:360) into a varaible to elaborate with it later on, during the program. I tried several times and in different forms with Flowcode with no results at all. I tried with switches and no luck, then I tried with keypad and nothing happen. As you may notice I'm a new Flowcode user!
Can some one help me on this and tell me how to do it?
Thanks

To enter a multi-digit number from a keypad you will need to build up the result one digit at a time - probably using a program loop structure.

The attached program is a simple example of a 3 digit entry system using the keypad component for data entry, and the LCD component for display.

The '#' key can be used as an 'Enter' key to terminate the loop early if fewer than 3 digits are required ('3', '5', '#' = 35).

Note: The result of a keypad read is 255 if no keys are being pressed. This is checked after each keypress is detected to prevent rapid autorepeat.

Hello

There are some examples packaged along with Flowcode V3 that should help you. Particularily the following.

TUT_31.FCF - XTAL - String input via switches and LCD.
TUT_32.FCF - XTAL - Password input with allow or deny.

These tutorial files can be found in the Program Files/Matrix Multimedia/Flowcode V3/Examples folder.

Hello

You should be able to tailor the above example for use with a keypad. Use the Flowcode simulation to test your program as you modify it. If you get stuck then post your program and ask how you could improve it.
