I am trying to enable a cap-sense button in my application. The CY8CMBR3102-SX1I has I2C and 2 GPIO lines. I am trying to use one line (CS0) as a cap sense button. That part I have working. The cap sense button can be activated, and I verify that by reading registers that are internal to the CY8CMBR3102-SX1I.
The second part is what I am having a hard time with. I want the other GPIO (GPO0) to be used as an interrupt line for the cap sense button. I want the line to change when the cap-sense button is pressed/released. Right now I see no change on the GPO0 line when the button is pressed or released. Here are the configs that I am loading into the registers at setup.

Register Name          Register Address          Set Value
Sensor_EN                     0x00                         0x0001
FSS_EN                         0x02                         0x0000
TOGGLE_EN                 0x04                         0x0000
GPO_CFG                     0x40                         0x08
SPO_CFG                     0x4C                         0x05
LED_ON_EN                 0x06                         0x0001
LED_ON_TIME             0x3D                         0x01

Any ideas of what I could do to make  this work? I could poll the register, but it would consume much more power and be inefficient.

Thanks in advance!

From the GPO and SPO config we can know that the GPO pin is configured to Open-Drain Low drive mode and you want the GPO pin keeps  low state in idle and send out a 20ms high pulse when sensor state changes.  Please note that an external pulled up resister should be placed for GPO pin when you choose Open-Drain Low drive mode, or it cannot output high.  If you don't have an external pull-up resister on GPO pin, please change GPO drive mode to Strong.

The output line currently does have an external pull up resistor with a value of 5k ohms. Also, I have tried taking that resistor off and changing the configs to the GPO strong drive mode, and that did not fix the problem either.
That was a good idea though.
