Project help
 

Hello guys,
I'm looking for someone who could help me with a touch pad add-on code for my project. We're using the HCS12 chip and this project is a continuous of the one before it which is basically a counter that reads special characters from the keyboard and does a specific function.

For example:
the "." to stop counting.
the "+" to start counting.
and so on and so forth with the rest of the asked characters.

We have to add-on the touch pad to work as an extra input from the user along with the keyboard and I have no idea how I should go about doing this.

Any help would be much appreciated and comments as well.
Thanks.

Any suggestions on how to solve this would be greatly appreciated.

Have you started by trying to find a reference manual. Here is what I dug up from the freescale website (which google lead me to).

Understand that you're talking about a specific system, here. The CPU is just one item, and not many, if any, on the forum, will be familiar with it. Over and above that you mention a keypad or keyboard, which is another component. You've given no idea what component that might be, how it connects to the micro (port or memory map), or anything else.

You tell us this is a continuation of the project. Whoopee. I doubt anyone here has done that same particular project. The fact is, your post is lacking a great deal of significant information. Further, even if you provided ALL that information, you might not find someone willing to undergo a study and familiarization process, so that they could answer your questions.

In other words, it's a pretty silly post, so far.

Alright, I'm going to download it and find what I can. Thanks.

Take it easy there champ. I thought I mentioned the type of chip I'm using. If you don't know anything about it, it's fine. I also mentioned a small part of the last project that I was talking about and explained what It needs to be done. If you didn't come across a chip like that and the specific configuration for the pad, don't bother answer.

Don't tell me not to answer, "Champ". I can't help it if you're lacking a little bit of sense. I'm telling you what is effed up about your post. If that gets your panties in a wad, go ask mama for your bobbie and blankie. On the other hand, if you're not totally puerile, go sit behind the barn, watch the cotton grow, and try to rub a couple of brain cells together.

That's cute, are you done or is there more of that pathetic comeback?

If this is for educational purpose then you must have received some literature to aid you with the task.Then you should attempt the task and then ask how what you have done can be improved.

However if this is for a commercial purpose then sadly you should not take on a job that you cannot do. Even if it was for a commercial purpose and you showed us some evidence that you attempted the task then you would properly get people who know how to do this to help you.

Or if you cannot attempt it and don't feel like attempting it at all be it for commercial or educational use then just post this in the jobs category.

It was educational actually and I never got any directions on how to do it. Our teacher pretty much does nothing for this course.
