Experiment 8
Keypad Security Code

I. Objectives:
1. Understand the principle of operation of a numeric keypad.
2. Interface numeric keypads, servo motor, buzzer and LED to an Arduino board.

II. Theoretical Background

4x4 Keypad

A keypad is a set of buttons arranged in a block or "pad" which usually bear

digits, symbols and usually a complete set of alphabetical letters. Similar to a telephone
keypad (or a touchtone keypad), it is arranged from 1 to 0, downwards, with the
number zero placed in between the asterisk and the pound sign. Each number has
designated letters in the alphabet.

Pins 1-4
Pins 5-8

III. Materials:
1 x Arduino Uno board and USB cable
1 x Servo Motor
1 x 4x4 Keypad
2 LEDs (Red and Green)
2 380 ohms Resistors
Buzzer
Connecting wires

IV. Procedure:
1. Construct the circuit using the Arduino Uno, Breadboard, Servo motor, 4x4
keypad, buzzer, LEDs, and resistors.
2. Create a program that accepts a secret code from a keypad. If the input secret
code is correct a green LED will light and the servo motor rotates 0 degree. Otherwise,
buzzer will turn ON for 5 secs and red LED stays in lit. Initially the Servo motor position
is in 90 degrees and the red LED is ON states. Print the password entered, the Red and
Green LED status, the position of the Servo Motor and Buzzer status in the Serial
Monitor.
SECRET PASSWORD = 4321 followed by ‘#’. If ‘*’ symbol is press a prompt “Enter the
correct password and press #”
