question about a 4*4 matrix keypad

Post by Experientia_docet »

Instead of using 8 pins to connect the keypad, what is the cheapest module to use to connect a keypad to the microcontroller. What do you call it so I sound like i know what im talking about when i walk into the shop ? :twisted:

Perhaps a PCF8574. There is sample code and a circuit diagram for using one to interface a matrix keypad in AN205.

But the diagram shows two 'modules'
