In this setup, columns are linked to the power supply and microcontroller outputs, while rows are inputs. This reduces the number of I/center>O ports needed. Large keyboards use a matrix arrangement to minimize I/O usage, with each key at the intersection of rows and columns. A single port can manage multiple keys in a matrix, increasing efficiency. For instance, a 4x4 matrix can handle 16 keys, which is more than direct connections. Adding more lines to the matrix increases the number of keys that can be handled exponentially, making it an efficient method for managing many keys.Membrane Keyboard

=== CPCWiki related ===*[[CPCWiki updates]]*[[Donors]]Identifying the position of the pressed key involves determining which specific key is closed. The process is as follows: Set each row line to a low logic level one at a time, while keeping the other lines at a high logic level. Once you find a row line at a low logic level, examine the logic levels of each column line in sequence. If a column line is also at a low logic level, the key at the intersection of that column and the row set to low is the closed key.
