Welcome!

Hello,

I´m trying to get the CapSense module to work. I tried to inspire from the Example, but it has other function namings.

I want to create two Buttons, when one of the Buttons is pressed, turn on an LED

1.

2. in the Code I called following functions:

   CapSense_Start();

   CapSense_InitializeAllBaselines();

   CapSense_ProcessAllWidgets();

     /* Check whether the scanning of all enabled widgets is completed. */
        if(0u == CapSense_IsBusy())
        {
            /* Update all baselines */
            CapSense_UpdateAllBaselines();

            /* Start scanning all enabled sensors */
            CapSense_Scan();
        }

        /* Display CapSense state using LED */
     

  if (CapSense_IsWidgetActive(CapSense_BUTTON0_WDGT_ID))

    {

       Pin_Write(0);

    }

    else

      Pin_Write(1);

Could you please let me know what is missing? the Code is compiling, but the LED never turns on.

Thanks and Regards

M.

Hi MoOu_4768141

I have updated your code with few changes. Please try this out.

CapSense_Start();

   //CapSense_InitializeAllBaselines(); -> Not required for latest component. This is done internally

   //CapSense_ProcessAllWidgets(); -> Commented this out as it is not required

while(1) //Added a forever loop to keep scanning the sensor

{

     /* Check whether the scanning of all enabled widgets is completed. */
        if(0u == CapSense_IsBusy())
        {
            /* Update all baselines */
            CapSense_ProcessAllWidgets(); // Modified. This is the updated function for the new component

            /* Start scanning all enabled sensors */
            CapSense_ScanAllWidgets(); //Modified
        }

        /* Display CapSense state using LED */
    

  if (CapSense_IsWidgetActive(CapSense_BUTTON0_WDGT_ID))

    {

       Pin_Write(0);

    }

    else

      Pin_Write(1);

}

Best regards,

Hari

Hi,

Reading your question, I remembered that I have done something similar.

And found one from my workspace, but it was for 23 buttons!

So I tailored it to 2 buttons version for CY8CKIT-044.

Probably the point is

you need to call

        if (CapSense_IsSensorActive(CapSense_BUTTON_WDGT_ID,CapSense_BUTTON_SNS0_ID)) { // for button1

or

        if (CapSense_IsSensorActive(CapSense_BUTTON_WDGT_ID,CapSense_BUTTON_SNS1_ID)) { // for button2

To support many more buttons, I placed these IDs into an array like below

uint8_t push_button_id[NUM_PUSH_BUTTON] = {

  CapSense_BUTTON_SNS0_ID,

  CapSense_BUTTON_SNS1_ID

} ;

To light LED modify the function dump_push_button() and replace

print("B") to light LED and print("-") to deim LED.

Note: I used only 1 Button which supports 2 buttons (actually it was 23 when I found this)
