# Matrix Keyboard Example (based on Dedicated GPIO)

(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)

## Overview

This example mainly illustrates how to drive a common matrix keyboard using the dedicated GPIO APIs, including:

* Manipulate the level on a group of GPIOs
* Trigger edge interrupt
* Read level on a group of GPIOs

Dedicated GPIO is designed to speed up CPU operations on one or a group of GPIOs by writing assembly codes with Espressif customized instructions (please refer TRM to get more information about these instructions).

This matrix keyboard driver is interrupt-driven, supports a configurable debounce time. GPIOs used by row and column lines are also configurable during driver installation stage.

## How to use example

### Hardware Required

This example can run on any target that has the dedicated feature (e.g. ESP32-S2). It's not necessary for your matrix board to have pull-up resisters on row/column lines. The driver has enabled internal pull-up resister by default. A typical matrix board should look as follows:

```

### Build and Flash

Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:

```text
idf.py -p PORT flash monitor
```

(Replace PORT with the name of the serial port to use.)

(To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.)

See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
