Hello community,
I'm having some issues trying to port a Capsense design to the new "CapSense P4 v4" component, and maybe some of you can help.
My design is based on 3 three simple buttons, which were ganged together for proximity sensing. I don’t have a dedicated sensor/wire for it. By using the new component I'm unable to select 0 sensing elements in the GUI.
I already tried a functional workaround by using an extra Button where i successfully selected the other 3 sensors, not having a dedicated sensing element.
What am I doing wrong? Is use case not possible with the new component/API.
Many thanks in advance,
Marco

Hi Marco,
To gang three buttons (with dedicated pins) for a proximity widget, you need not try to set Sensing elements to zero. You just need to deselect dedicated pin for proximity and use dedicated pins of buttons. You can do this in Component Configuration wizard under Advanced tab.
By doing so, the proximity widget wont consume any additional GPIO.

Sorry, I should have posted this details:
Those options are greyed out. I can’t select them on the proximity sensor... That is the issue.
By the way, I'm using PSCO 4.2, the beta version for PSOC 6

Could that be a file permission issue (read-only)? Could you please share the project here?

I am able to edit the CapSense settings without any issue. Sensor connections are not grayed out for me (like your screenshot).
I have modified the gang sensor pin as mentioned in my previous post. See if the changes are reflecting on your side. Probably you can continue you development from there.

Something is wrong with my PSOC creator instalation then.
I can see you modifications, but I'm still unable to edit those settings. Still grey.
I'll try to reinstall PSOC Creator
Thank you very much,
Marco

After a complete new instalation of PSOC Creator 4.2, cleaning every Cypress file and config, the problem continued.
However I managed to "fix" it by downgrading the CAPSENSE P4 component from version 4.1 to 4.0
I'll use this configuration for now...
