Slim Node scene controller/ keypad
-
Inspired by the Battery button sensor, a look at "how low can you go"
Not much more than a standard 16 key touchpad and the ever popular slim node.
Have it sleep on interrupt only (no timer delay)
DVint = sleep(DV_int, FALLING, 0); // sleep, node wakes up on key interrupt (sleep returns int number)and it will last for years on a coin cell. i.e.
250mAh battery ; 50 keypresses a day ; results in > 7 year battery life!Now thinking on which housing to use.. I wish I had the skills for something like this
.
-
Completed the design... not a beauty but functional. Expected lifetime with the battery > 50 yrs (2.2 uA, completely theoretical. Batteries aren't of that quality )
. The bi-color LED was added to show the on/off state when toggling a scene. (and because @GertSanders likes flashing led's
)

hi @AWI
This looks great, and i've been exploring the same thing too. Would you please explain how the keypad works with the Slim Node and sleep node? Would you be able to post your code please?
Again, great project and love the idea

@drock1985 Sure, to summarize what is in the code: The TP229 can work with a serial protocol. When a key is pressed the serial data line pulses low. This generates an interrupt that wakes the processor. From there on the data is read by clocking the SCL input and reading the key status from the SDA output.

Hi AWI,
Real nice design with all the small hardware. I have a tip for you on how you can make a very simple custom design membrane keypad.
I used to work with POS scales. Most of the older designs had membrane keyboards. We fitted custom designs with the customers SKU's just by printing a new keyboard on plain paper. Then we used Sticky Laminating slides like these to seal the design and paste it to your keyboard.
These sheets should not cost more than 1~2 $ per A4 sheet. Cold seal versions should be available, but most work with a machine. These machines van be found for approx 20,- $
This way you should be able to build any custom layout if you have the MSpaint skills!
-
@Kristiaan-Nugteren Thanks, I will give it a try. I have all the ingredients laying around..
-
@AWI Hello, did you set something (jumper) to reduce the power consumption ? Did you removed the LED on the keyboard ?
I measured the power consumption at something close to 1.3mA. Really far to your 2.2uA !David.
-
@carlierd Hi David, sorry for being not complete. To be sure I just made taken some new measurements. I killed the D1 led and you should connect the P1/3 jumper for 16 key operation (see below in picture)
if you do so the current goes down from a few mA to a few uA (depends on voltage) This measurement is with 3.0V
Please shout if you don't manage to get it like this.
-
Hello @AWI !
For an unknown reason I missed your reply. Thanks. I wait the week-end to test it.
I spent several hours on the net to find a "soft" solution. I think that it's very strange to add a led on this circuit. As the component's consumption is very low, a solution to disable the led in a proper way allows to use it in battery solution.
David.
-
@AWI
Led removed and power consumption really low but not stable ! I measure with my uCurrent a consumption between 1.8uA and 2.5. And sometimes some pikes close to 9 or 15 uA. It seems to be every 8 seconds (link to arduino wake-up ?).
Not a real issue as it's very low.I will now work on the package
David.
-
@carlierd Good news! The "8 second wakeup" of the arduino should only occur in a "timed sleep". not if you only specify interrupt. The keypad driver is behaving rather unexpected and is very sensitive but if you leave it for a while (on battery power) it will calm down..
-
@AWI Off course !! Thanks.

Hello !
I was inspired by your post and adapt your code to my needs:
- Scene controller on key 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 (7 scenes possible)
- 4 digit code send as VAR_1 if 4 keys between 1 and 9 have been pushed one after one within 2 seconds
For fun I added a buzzer and a final song is played in case the code is sent.
No control of the code in the sensor, it will be done in the controller (Jeedom).The code if someone is interested:

Hi @AWI
I decided to try and build your keypad but I am running into some compile errors with the code you have listed above. I see that in the description you moved to 1.6; but do you still have the code for 1.5? Haven't made the switch over yet and would like to see if these 16 key keypads I have will do what I am hoping.
Thanks,
-
@drock1985 I haven't made it in the production version but it should not be to much work. I can do it for you (untested) if I have a spare minute left..
-
Sure, would love to
Been finding reasons to build SlimNodes all day.
-
@drock1985 Here you are..as mentioned in my previous post untested and I have commented most of the "development code"

Hello,
Some pictures of my scene controller inspired by this post ! I modified the original sketch to have two functions: keyboard for my alarm (from key 1 to 9) and scene controller (from key 10 to 16). Thanks @awi for the idea and the original sketch !
David.
