The 4 button membrane keypad allows for a 4 button input. These are set up on GPIO pins, and are connected to the system as a standard input event device. The four keys are connected as arrow keys. An example binary is included in order to demonstrate the input capabilities of these buttons:

/usr/local/bin/keypad-test

Will draw a box around the screen, with some text. But, whenever a button is pressed it will display a block on the LCD above the button that has been pressed. Please note that the LCD device must first be set up and operational before this binary will launch.
