Keypad Library Functions problems

[AleCarsa]

Hi guys, i'm working on a security box that use a keypad 4x3 matrix for the user inputs.
I want allow the user to change his password in this way :

• Insert new password
• press * for 3 seconds for confirm

Ok, the problem is the second one, because i'm trying to use the library's functions , like .getState() or .isPressed() , but all of them have a bug (i think), because if i press any button, the state of the pad changes into PRESSED (and it's ok), then if i release, the state still be PRESSED instead of RELEASED.
It's seems like the "refresh" doesn't read the pull-up, and the state remains in ground.

/* Utilizzo un keypad 4x3 e mando in output su seriale il tasto premuto */

/* NOTA : Per le variabili intere uso "byte" al posto di "int" perchè mi consente di risparmiare spazio, 1 byte al posto di 2 per "int". */

#include <Keypad.h>

const byte COLS = 3;
const byte ROWS = 4;

char keys[ROWS][COLS] = {
  {'1','2','3'},
  {'4','5','6'},
  {'7','8','9'},
  {'*','0','#'}
};

byte rowPins[4] = {8,7,6,5};  //connect to the row pinouts of the keypad
byte colPins[3] = {4,3,2};  //connect to the col pinouts of the keypad

// Creo un oggetto di tipo Keypad , dove specifico : mappa_tasti, pin_righe, pin_colonne, Num_righe, Num_colonne

Keypad pad = Keypad( makeKeymap(keys), rowPins,colPins,ROWS,COLS);  



void setup(){
 Serial.begin(9600);
 delay(1000);
 Serial.println(F("ready"));

 pad.waitForKey();

}


void loop(){


    if(pad.isPressed('1')){
      Serial.println("1");
    }else if(pad.isPressed('2')){
      Serial.println("2");
    }else if(pad.isPressed('3')){
      Serial.println("3");
    }


}

If there's someone that can be useful, please be.

Thank you all!

The issue tracker on github.com is for Arduino software only, you'd better ask for help on the forum:

http://forum.arduino.cc/

When you post your question, I suggest you to provide also a link to the Keypad library.

Ok but, it's a bug in the arduino script.....where's problem??
It's a forum focused on the issues....where should i ask it?
I have asked it into the official forum too, but none reply me.

What do you mean with "Arduino script" exactly? It looks like a bug in the Keypad library, or perhaps even your own code, not a bug in the Arduino core code or IDE. If it actually is a bug in the Arduino core, you'll have to supply a more specific example and more info to indicate this.

I've a code that i suppose its correct, but, i was looking for someone that knows this library and has worked on it.
It's not a bug in the arduino core, this problem talks about the keypad library.
There's a forum on github where i can post this ?

@AleCarsa
it's probably a bug in your code, but this is not the correct place to ask for assistance, please ask on the users forum where you have a higher chance to receive an answer!

Ok, thanks,
