I have a problem with an activation/deactivation system for Arduino. I can get the code to activate or deactivate once I upload a fresh copy of the code, but once I activate it after upload and try to deactivate the security system, it only takes in 2 numbers and then prompts me to Wrong password.
#include "Keypad.h"
#include "LiquidCrystal.h"
#include "Password.h"
LiquidCrystal lcd(0,1,10,11,12,13);
char newPasswordString; //hold the new password
char newPassword[4]; //character string of newPasswordString
//initialize password to 1234
//you can use password.set(newPassword) to overwrite it
Password password = Password("1234");
byte maxPasswordLength = 6;
byte currentPasswordLength = 0;
// keypad type definition
const byte ROWS = 4; //four rows
const byte COLS = 4; //four columns
char keys[ROWS][COLS] = {
{'1','2','3','A'},
{'4','5','6','B'},
{'7','8','9','C'},
{'*','0','#','D'}
};
byte rowPins[ROWS] = {9,8,7,6}; //Rows 0 to 4
byte colPins[COLS]= {5,4,3,2}; //Columns 0 to 4
int count=0;
Keypad keypad = Keypad( makeKeymap(keys), rowPins, colPins, ROWS, COLS );
void setup()
{
lcd.begin(16, 2);
mainScreen();
}
void loop(){
char key = keypad.getKey();
if (key != NO_KEY){
delay(60);
switch (key){
case 'A': activate(); break;
case 'B': break;
case 'C': break;
case 'D': deactivate(); break;
case '#': break;
case '*': break;
default: processNumberKey(key);
}
}
}
void processNumberKey(char key) {
lcd.print(key);
currentPasswordLength++;
password.append(key);
if (currentPasswordLength == maxPasswordLength) {
activate();
}
}
void activate() {
if (password.evaluate()){
lcd.clear();
lcd.print("Activated.");
delay(1000);
mainScreen();
} else {
lcd.clear();
lcd.print("Wrong Password!");
}
}
void deactivate(){
if (password.evaluate()){
lcd.clear();
lcd.print("Deactivated.");
delay(1000);
mainScreen();
} else {
lcd.clear();
lcd.print("Wrong Password!");
delay(1000);
mainScreen();
}
}
void mainScreen(){
lcd.clear();
lcd.print("Enter Pin:");
keypad.getKey();
}
