Description
Call to Keypad_Key_Click is a blocking call: the function waits until some key is
pressed and released. When released, the function returns 1 to 16, depending
on the key. If more than one key is pressed simultaneously the function will wait
until all pressed keys are released. After that the function will return the code of
the first pressed key.
Requires Port needs to be initialized for working with the Keypad library, see Keypad_Init.
Example
char kp;
...
kp = Keypad_Key_Click();
