Hi,

     Interrupts because I am curious about them.  I am not too
familiar with pthreads, I will take a look into them and see if I
would rather do it this way.  Like I said, this is only for school and
we do not have a company requesting this project, so I am free to do
it any way I want.  I am looking to just get more experience with
embedded programming to see if I want to go into it further after I
finish my undergrad.

I don't get what you mean by stepping to the next row to disable to
drive of the current key.  Could you explain it?

Thanks,
Brandon
