The 4×4 Matrix Keypad is a compact input device designed for Arduino, ESP8266, ESP32, and other microcontroller-based electronic projects. It features 16 keys arranged in four rows and four columns, allowing users to enter numbers, characters, and commands for a wide range of applications.
Using a row-and-column matrix interface, the keypad requires only 8 signal pins to detect all 16 keys, helping reduce GPIO usage. It is ideal for password entry systems, electronic locks, menu navigation, calculators, robotics, and DIY automation projects.
