====== TASTO? ======

A key (Italian tasto, Latin clavis) or a button is a control element that is operated by pressing and automatically returns to its original position when released.

Forth has ''KEY?'' and ''KEY'' to query the computer's keyboard. I therefore call the query of a different individual key something else. Figure below shows such a key.

{{:pfw:weissertaster.png?100|The small white button is on the breadboard at the bottom right of the picture.}}

At [[en:pfw:clavis|CLAVIS?]] you can find out more about it.


===== Implementation for MSP430G2553 =====

Here, the button is connected to pin 7 of port 1 of the MSP430G2553 microprocessor MCU. See circuit diagram in code.


==== I/O ====

This circuit provides a digital input, with the pin itself being the voltage source.


==== Pseudo code ====

<code>
Function:  PININ ( mask -- ) 
           configure pin as input
Function:  TASTO? ( mask -- f )  \ flag is true if the key is not pressed (high level at pin)
           check digital voltage level 
</code>


==== Forth implementation (noForth) ====

The port pins are configured using registers.
The configuration register table is specified in the code.
The interrupt register indicates whether a falling edge was present.

In the direction register, P1.7 is set to digital IN.
The integrated **pull-up resistor is activated** to support the high level.
No interrupt should occur, so it is disabled. 
The pin is used in the I/O function.

Try more or fewer than five queries to eliminate the bouncing. (More on the [[pfw:topicofbouncing|topic of bouncing]].)
