Programming a Microcontroller

[Villanmac]

Hi

I'm working on the following code which is to be used on the M16C/62 microcontroller. Basically the microcontroller is to "scan the keypad and display any key that is depressed" (which i have done im pretty sure), on the LCD. However I know I have to Sound the buzzer whilst a key remains depressed which i have looked up in the manual to see is at Port 4.1. I have already established it as an output (P4.1 = 1) but i have no clue how to implement any code that would relate its sounding to the depression of a key.

Could someone help me out, i'm not looking for solutions
(although hey if u wanna?) lol seriously though i just need some guidance because I cant even put in a incorrect code as im so blank on this. I'd rather stick some incorrect code after some guidance then just leave it blank because I havent a clue.

Thanks for any help

I think that embedded software topics are not relevant for DaniWeb type forums. It's a very interesing but too specialized area. As usually, no common programming language problems there. See your problem, for example: you need help on the particular device programming (ports, time-outs etc).
Better ask the question on the M16C community forum (or download examples, device datasheets, other documentation etc). For example, look at:
http://www.renesasrulz.com/
http://america.renesas.com/fmwk.jsp?cnt=Application_Notes.jsp&fp=/products/mpumcu/m16c_family/&dscl=disclaimer8.html&title=Application%20Notes&lid=49
...
Of course, may be there is M16C profi here but I'm doubt...
Good luck!

Yikes. It's too hard to help you because I am totally unfamiliar with that particular chips op codes. And I'm not familiar with that header file either. Generally these forums are for windows/linux programmers. Does this need to be written in C++? Because if it can be written in assembly, I may be able to help. There is most likely a register or reserved memory address, which needs to be looked up, that contains a boolean bit or some other flag mechanism to trigger the buzzer to be activated. Since there's a header file included for the chip, there is likely definitions specific to activating the buzzer, and if not some in depth reading must be done to determine it's address/register.
