+description: |
+  The charlieplex keypad supports N^2)-N different key combinations (where N is
+  the number of I/O lines). Key presses and releases are detected by configuring
+  only one line as output at a time, and reading other line states. This process
+  is repeated for each line. Diodes are required to ensure current flows in only
+  one direction between any pair of pins, as well as pull-up or pull-down
+  resistors on all I/O lines.
+  This mechanism doesn't allow to detect simultaneous key presses.
+
+  Wiring example for 3 lines keyboard with 6 switches and 3 diodes (pull-up/down
+  resistors not shown but needed on L0, L1 and L2):
