Keypads
Introduction
dingoPDM and dingoPDM-Max support up to 2 CAN keypads per device. The device acts as the keypad's CANopen master node.
As the keypad master the device will:
- Send the CANopen start message
- Read the button, dial and analog input states
- Set the backlight color and brightness
- Set the button LED colors, based on any variables
Each keypad needs only 1 master node.
Keypad messages can also be read by other devices with CAN inputs, without being the master node.
Keypads are set up in dingoConfig, see dingoConfig Keypads.

Initial Setup
Setting Node ID
Each keypad on the bus needs its own CANopen node ID. Use the same node ID for the keypad device in dingoConfig.
Blink Marine keypads ship with node ID 0x15 (21) by default.
Bitrate
The keypad and the device must use the same CAN bitrate. Blink Marine keypads default to 125K, change the keypad or the device bitrate so they match.
Settings
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Enabled | Keypad is used |
| Node ID | CANopen node ID of the keypad |
| Model | Keypad model, sets the number of buttons/dials |
| Timeout Enabled | Reset all buttons, dials and analog inputs when the keypad stops sending |
| Timeout | Time without a message before reset (ms) |
| Backlight Brightness | 0 to 63 |
| Dim Backlight Brightness | 0 to 63, used while the dimming input is true |
| Backlight Color | See Backlight Colors |
| Dimming Input | Variable that switches to the dim brightness |
| Button Brightness | 0 to 63 |
| Dim Button Brightness | 0 to 63, used while the dimming input is true |
Buttons
Each button creates a variable (Keypad n Button n) that can be used by any function.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Enabled | Button is used |
| Mode | Momentary or Latching |
| Value Var 0 - 3 | Variables that pick the LED color. If more than one is on (1), the highest numbered one wins |
| Color 0 - 3 | LED color for each value var |
| Blink 0 - 3 | Blink the LED for each value var |
| Blink Color 0 - 3 | Second color used when blinking |
| Fault Var | Variable that shows the fault color, for example Output 1 Fault. Fault takes priority over the value vars |
| Fault Color | LED color when the fault var is on |
| Fault Blink | Blink the LED when the fault var is on |
| Fault Blink Color | Second color used when the fault is blinking |
Example
Button 1 turns on output 1 with a latching button. The LED is green when the output is on and red when the output faults.
- Button 1:
Enabled, Mode =Latching - Output 1: Input =
Keypad 1 Button 1 - Button 1 Value Var 0 =
None, Color 0 =Off - Button 1 Value Var 1 =
Output 1 On, Color 1 =Green - Button 1 Fault Var =
Output 1 Fault, Fault Color =Red

|---|---|
| Enabled | Dial is used |
| Min Count | Lowest dial value (0 to 16) |
| Max Count | Highest dial value (0 to 16) |
| LED Offset | Shift the dial LED ring position (0 to 16) |
