Wouldn't you just hook up the row/column to GPIO pins and scan it like every other implementation?

A quick Google should manifest a whole slew of examples

I almost made a boo-boo once by routinely making the outputs to the keypad push-pull. That would make beautiful blue smoke come out of the chip if you press two keys at the same time. Fortunately, I caught it before loading the code into the micro.

I can see someone making the same mistake by routine, thus this post.

WOW, just had a peek at your Arghmel link and, lo and behold, they make that very mistake:

 ''Rows are connected to four PIO pins configured as outputs.''
