One line scanning routine

This is a routine which scans one line of the keyboard directly. It is approximately 8% faster then the firmware routine and doesn't enable interrupts.

Input: A = line (&40 - &49)

Output: A = hardware keyboard value

Destroyed: BC

ld a, line	;use the value from the table above
ld bc, &F6C0
out (c), c
ld bc, &F40E
out (c), c
ld bc, &F792
out (c), c
ld b, &F6
out (c), c
ld b, &F4
in a, (c)
ld bc, &F782
out (c), c
ld bc, &F600
out (c), c

Now check for the value from the table e.g. with 'bit x,A' and a condition e.g. 'jp z,xxxx' or 'call z,xxxx'

Please note:

  • Bit = 0: Key is pressed
  • Bit = 1: Key is not pressed


Complete keyboard scanning routine

This routine scans the complete keyboard and writes all key status bits in a map.

keymap  ds 10  ;map with 10*8 = 80 key status bits (bit=0 key is pressed)
