I have BLE pioneer kit , which has only 5 buttons but I like to test the functionality of my application using more than 12  CapSense buttons (CSD for the moment). I read all or most of cypress CapSense documents but never found a document introducing simpler way to build them on bread board than just building them on PCB. is it possible and how?

Thanks for your brilliant idea!

   

I happened to try just with a push pin on bread board. And.... It works well!

   

Like the picture I connected blue wire from the push pin to CapSense pin [3.0] and yellow wire to GND in BLE pioneer kit with the code examples CE210291 in PSOC creator.

You may be able to make them with Copper tape and a copper screen for the ground plane.  I have never tried it but is may work.

I successfully used conductive ink on two layers of overhead foil to draw buttons and ground plane.
