capsense, uart not opearble together

[saurabh]

Hello,

I have been trying to integrate uart and capsense touch functionalities in CY8C 4245 AXI 483 MCU. Everything worked fine until working on individual function but as I merged the UART and CapSense in single project, an issue popped up such as UART stopped receiving data. I am unable to find the issue. Can anyone helpe me/ suggest me a solution..?

Hi @saurabh,

Could you share your project or the section of code that has the UART and CapSense functions being used?

If both are working individually, then I suspect the usage of functions may be the problem in the combined project.

You may use the below as a reference:

int main(void)
{
   CyGlobalIntEnable;
   UART_Start();
   CapSense_Start();
   UART_UartPutString("\rStart of the application\n");

   for(;;)
   {
      /* Place your application code here. */
      if( !CapSense_IsBusy())
      {
         CapSense_ProcessAllWidgets();
         

         UART_UartPutString("can send information");
         //can receive data from uart too

         //other implementations

         CapSense_ScanAllWidgets();
      }
   }
}

Hello @ncbs 

Thanks for sharing the reference code. PFA the project in which I have implemented the capsense and uart altogether. Still facing the similar issue.

Hi @saurabh,

UART component is working perfectly --> whenever there is any character/string sent, the same gets communicated back.

However, I observe that there are no CapSense widgets defined in the CapSense CSD widget:

To define a widget, click the required widget in the left pane (buttons, linear sliders, radial sliders, etc) and then click on the "Add <widget>" button at the top.

Example: to define a linear slider: click on "linear sliders" in the left pane, and then "add linear slider"

Hello @ncbs  (Nikihl), 

Thanks a lot for the suggestion, the problem was with the terminal which I had been using to transmit string. It caused garbage data transmission and hence the same was getting echoed. Both the functionalities are working fine.
