Machine Language ProgrammingMachine Language Programming Summed Up How Memory Is Addressed V. Logic DescriptionHow the Input/Output Works pressed. A 62 machine instruction causes the least significant 4 bits of memory byte to be latched into U13. These 4 bits are decoded to bring one of the 16 U13 output lines low. If the key that corresponds to this output line is pressed, the CDPI802 EF3 input will go low. The 4-bitcodes latched into U13 correspond to the equivalent key positions. After the program send8 a 4-bitcode to U13, it subsequently examines the EF3 line to see if the key corresponding to this code is pressed or not. In this manner, a program can determine when any specific key is pressed or can sequentially scan all keys while waiting for any one to be pressed. Key debounce delays must be provided in the program when required. A program can also cause a speaker tone to occur when a key is pressed. Only one key at a time should be pressed with this method of interfacing the keyboard V1.
