Arduino Keypad Library on NodeMCU buttons mapped the wrong way - arduino

I am attaching a 4x4 membrane keypad to my NodeMCU (ESP8266-12E).
I am using the standard Keypad library for Arduino.
The layout of the keypad look like this:
1 2 3 A
4 5 6 B
7 8 9 C
* 0 # D
Everything works fine except the buttons A and B, which will behave like the buttons 1 and 4, so Pressing A gives me 1, and pressing B gives me 4.
I tried testing the same code on a Arduino Nano, the problem doesn't occur here.
I also tested the Keypad itself to see if it was wired correctly. The keypad is wired correctly.
What is causing the keypad to not work on the buttons A and B?
The code:
#include <Keypad.h>
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] = {5,4,0,2};
byte colPins[COLS] = {14,12,13,15};
Keypad keypad = Keypad( makeKeymap(keys), rowPins, colPins, ROWS, COLS );
byte ledPin = 13;
boolean blink = false;
boolean ledPin_state;
void setup(){
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // Sets the digital pin as output.
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // Turn the LED on.
ledPin_state = digitalRead(ledPin); // Store initial LED state. HIGH when LED is on.
keypad.addEventListener(keypadEvent); // Add an event listener for this keypad
}
void loop(){
char key = keypad.getKey();
if (key) {
Serial.println(key);
}
if (blink){
digitalWrite(ledPin,!digitalRead(ledPin)); // Change the ledPin from Hi2Lo or Lo2Hi.
delay(100);
}
}
// Taking care of some special events.
void keypadEvent(KeypadEvent key){
switch (keypad.getState()){
case PRESSED:
if (key == '#') {
digitalWrite(ledPin,!digitalRead(ledPin));
ledPin_state = digitalRead(ledPin); // Remember LED state, lit or unlit.
}
break;
case RELEASED:
if (key == '*') {
digitalWrite(ledPin,ledPin_state); // Restore LED state from before it started blinking.
blink = false;
}
break;
case HOLD:
if (key == '*') {
blink = true; // Blink the LED when holding the * key.
}
break;
}
}

The problem here appears to be the use of pin D8.
If you shift all of your connectors to D0 - D7 you will find that this works as expected

TMC2208 Stepper driver replacement with A4988 Trouble

I am using a version of an Arduino CNC board that is found here to drive 4 wheels on a small wheeled robot. The shield came with A4988 stepper drivers and I got them to work fine, however the motors were much louder than intended so I went searching for another driver and found the TMC2208. I saw that the pin-outs were the same as long as the boards themselves aligned the enable pins on the shield.
The problem however seems to be in the code though. I am using the Accelstepper library in my code and everything works fine with the A4988 driver board. When I swapped just the boards, nothing happened in my program. I went looking on the TMCStepper library git to try and find some help. I managed to at lease get the steppers working using a version of the 'Simple' example. I tried to take out as much as possible while still being able to move the motors so that I could use it in my actual program. I still am not having any luck.
When I run this program
#include <TMCStepper.h>
#define EN_PIN 8 // Enable
#define DIR_PIN1 5 // Direction
#define STEP_PIN1 2 // Step
#define DIR_PIN2 6 // Direction

the motors just continuously spin, so I know that the drivers actually work.

When I run my code, a Pi sends two values that equals step counts, however with the new drivers nothing happens. I tried also looking at and following the AccelStepper example on the git but I guess I have something wrong.
Any help would be appreciated.

How to use Keypad_MC17 library in Arduino-Ide

I want to know the button pressed in the Serial-Monitor in Arduino-Ide. I am using Arduino-Uno Board and I have connected the MCP23017 IC via I2C Connection with Arduino-Uno board. I have connected the 5*5 Push-button Matrix with the pins of MCP23017. I am using the joe young/arduino_keypads library.I am not able to view the button pressed in the Serial-Monitor.

In the picture the same code doesn't seem to work when I place the lines
if (gsm.begin(9600)) //Start the GSM COM
{
(sms.SendSMS("+8613668914901","Your Home Security system is being bridged"));
but this lines work great inside the void setup function.
How can I fix this problem? Inside the void setup the sketch works fine but when I also put the code in the function CheckPassword it doesn't send SMS.
I also tried to create a function let's say void SMS and call it in the checkPassword function but it doesn't solve the problem, btw the same function when called in the void setup works fine.
You are supposed to initialize the gsm only once, in the setup function.
In your code you attempt to initialize it again in the checkPassword method, and that is obviously not going to work.
Thus you should remove the line gsm.begin(9600) from the checkPassword function.
UPDATE 1:
In your scheme you reserve the pins 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 for the Keyboard. However, at the same time you reserve pins 2, 3 for your GSM module (see GSM.cpp):
#define _GSM_TXPIN_ 2
#define _GSM_RXPIN_ 3
Using the same pins for multiple purposes can often result (if not done properly) in undefined behaviour which in the best scenario means that your sketch isn't doing what it is supposed to do, and in the worst scenario it might damage your components.
You are already using pins 0, 1 for the Serial library, but according to your code the pins 10, 11, 13 should still be free if you want to relocate the existing pins to your components.
Notice also the following warnings inside the GSM library:
[3] My shield doesn't work. Why?
Check this steps and then ask for support on the issues' page on google
code.
1) SIM900 and SIM908 require about 1 A during the hardest tasks.
You should have an external power source that can provide about
1 A at 8-12 V
2) If the SIM90X blinks (1 Hz) for some seconds and then turn off,
probably it's a communication's problem. Check the switch/jumpers
for Serial communication.
3) Arduino Uno has 2 KB of RAM. Library takes about 80% (we are working
to reduce it), if you use more than 20% left, Arduino can restart
or print on serial strange strings.
4) Check the jumper of communication, power source (battery or externel) and charge.

Using arduino to control leds as a pattern

I have this code here which sends some keys to windows and also lights up an led attached under each button. I think its right so the led will toggle with the button. What I wanted to achieve ontop of this was so that if no button states hadn't changed for 30 seconds then it goes into a mode where all three leds flash rapidly 3 times then the leds randomly flashes (Like a pinball machine when its not in use). After any input then it goes back to the normal mode

releaseKey();
}
}
void releaseKey()
{
buf[0] = 0;
buf[2] = 0;
Serial.write(buf, 8); // Release key
delay(500);
digitalWrite(LED_COPY, LOW);
digitalWrite(LED_CUT, LOW);
digitalWrite(LED_PASTE, LOW);
}
For refrence this is the article I was using http://mitchtech.net/arduino-usb-hid-keyboard/
i recomend you to look for Finite State Machine in Google.
Here is one link to implement it in C++
http://www.drdobbs.com/cpp/state-machine-design-in-c/184401236
here is other link to implement it in Arduino
http://playground.arduino.cc/Code/SMlib
it's exactly what you need to do what you want.
i hope this help you!

Arduino state not declared in this scope

I am currently working on a small project using arduino and the below is my code:
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
#include <Adafruit_Fingerprint.h>
#include <Keypad.h>
const byte ROWS = 4; // Four rows
const byte COLS = 3; // Three columns
// Define the Keymap
char keys[ROWS][COLS] = {
{'1','2','3'},
{'4','5','6'},
{'7','8','9'},
{'#','0','*'}
};
// Connect keypad ROW0, ROW1, ROW2 and ROW3 to these Arduino pins.
byte rowPins[ROWS] = {2, 3, 4, 5};
// Connect keypad COL0, COL1 and COL2 to these Arduino pins.
byte colPins[COLS] = {6, 7, 8};
// Create the Keypad
Keypad keypad = Keypad( makeKeymap(keys), rowPins, colPins, ROWS, COLS );
#define ledpin 13
#define LOCKED 2
#define PASSWORD_OK 1
#define UNLOCKED 0
//State Variables; initialise to locked state
int LockState = LOCKED;
int position = 0;
void setup()
{
pinMode(ledpin,OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(ledpin, HIGH);
Serial.begin(9600);
//Initialize state and communications
setLockState(LOCKED);
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop()
{
char key = keypad.getKey();
if(key) // Check for a valid key.
{
switch (key)
{
// case '*':
// digitalWrite(ledpin, LOW);
// break;
// case '#':
// digitalWrite(ledpin, HIGH);
// break;
default:
Serial.print(key);
}
}
}
It was from Adafruit. however, when i upload to my uno, it keeps giving me the error: 'setLockState' was not declared in this scope.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
I think you did not declare the function setLockState() in your code. I don't know about your project details, but it looks like you want to lock a thing via keypad or fingerprint. You can find a great Tutorial (including the missing setLockState() function) for a biometric-security-box on the website of Adafruit.
