Hii

I am working with arduino uno on a home security project  where i need some help from u related to programming,i want to input delay from 4*3 keypad where the input will be in seconds,after this delay the arduino will start the executing further code and follows

I have the code for keypad from the keypad library but i dont know how to give the output of keypad as delay to turn on the arduino after the delay for further security related programme 

Please help me with the code

'turn on the arduino after the delay'??

If I have you right, you want to use the keypad to enter a delay.  If so, read the digits (one by one) via the library, looking for the '#' as a terminator char.  Then stuff into a single variable and use as your delay time.

Thank you very much for your idea

Prince Gautam   I'm just starting with ardunios. ( I cut my teeth on Moto 68HC11's and PICs in assembler.)  But if you aren't in any rush I'll give it a shot.  I'm on the road now installing a CNC laser, so it will have to wait till I get back home.
