Matrix - Button
Contents
1 Introduction
- The Matrix-Button module is used to detect button events.
- If the button is not pressed S will output high otherwise S will output low.
2 Features
- 3 PIN interface
- PCB dimension (mm): 8 x 24
- Pin Description:
Pin | Description |
S | GPIO |
V | Supply Voltage 5V |
G | Ground |
3 Basic Device Operation
- The Matrix-Button is an instant(non self-lock) button. The button's status can be read from pin S in the 3-pin 2.54 mm spacing pin header.
- If the button is not pressed S will output high otherwise S will output low.

5 Compile & Run Test Program
Boot your ARM board with Debian and copy the matrix code:
$ apt-get update && apt-get install git $ git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git
If your cloning is done successfully a "matrix" directory will be generated.
Compile and install Matrix:
$ cd matrix $ make && make install
Run test program:
$ matrix-gpio_int
Note: this module is not plug and play therefore before running the module please make sure it is connected to an ARM board.
Here is what you should observe:
Waiting event... Device[0] value is 1
When you press the button an event will be detected.
6 Code Sample
This Matrix code sample can work with all the ARM boards mentioned in this module's wiki. The name of this code sample is "matrix-gpio_int". Here is its source code:
int main(int argc, char ** argv) { int i, board; int retSize = -1; char value[ARRAY_SIZE(dev)]; if ((board = boardInit()) < 0) printf("Fail to init board\n"); if (argc == 2) { dev[0].pin = atoi(argv[1]); } printf("Using GPIO_PIN(%d)\n", dev[0].pin); system("modprobe "DRIVER_MODULE); signal(SIGINT, intHandler); if (board == BOARD_NANOPI_T2) dev[0].pin = GPIO_PIN(15); if ((devFD =sensorInit(dev, ARRAY_SIZE(dev))) == -1) { printf("Fail to init sensor\n"); return -1; } printf("Waiting event...\n"); if ((retSize = sensorRead(devFD, value, ARRAY_SIZE(dev))) == -1) { printf("Fail to read sensors\n"); } if (retSize > 0) { i = 0; for (i=0; i<retSize; i++) { printf("dev[%d] value: %d\n", i, value[i]); } } sensorDeinit(devFD); system("rmmod "DRIVER_MODULE); return 0; }
