Documented Code

The following code is intended to be uploaded to the Arduino UNO microcontroller. It provides a template for initializing the microcontroller and contains placeholders for the main application logic.

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:

}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

}
  • File Name: sketch.ino
  • Description: This file contains the initial setup and main loop for the Arduino UNO. The setup function is called once when the microcontroller is reset, and the loop function runs continuously, allowing the microcontroller to respond to keypad inputs.

Note: The actual implementation code for processing keypad inputs is not provided in this document and should be developed according to the specific requirements of the application.
