Hi All,
I bought the CY8CKIT-040 PSoC 4000 pioneer kit about a year ago and it worked great for a project i needed it for back then, problem is i have forgotten most things i learned about it.
I am using PSoC Creater 4.1 and i would love a little help or advice from someone so i can get my head back around it.
I have a simple two track Capacitive switch. It has a center electrode and then a outside trace that is the ground.
I know how to change the pin so it reads the single electrode but i have no idea or understanding how to make the pin next to it perform as the ground pin for this switch.
Also i need to hook up one or two LEDs and what i would like to happen is for the controller to have the capacitive switch and leds plugged in and when the button is pushed/sensed for it to simply turn on the leds while it is being pushed.
I would of loved to of done a proximity sensor as well to light up a seperate LED for backlighting when a hand went near it but i dont think i have the time or skills to implement that as well.
I would appreciate any advice that could be given as i am a bit of a noob with this stuff.
Kind regards,
Darren

Thanks for your reply.
I was able to use that and i can see the two leds there in this project but i cannot get it to work.
I plugged the positive part of the led into 3.3vdd and i plugged the opposite negative end into the pins required. The leds stay turned on and do not turn off.
I need the LEDs to only turn on when the capacitive part is pushed.
I am also having trouble getting the i2c i added working so i can access tuner.
I have added the components which i believe to be correct but i am wondering if i need to add some code which is the part i am not good at.

You need a 150 ohm resistor in line with your LED's to prevent damage to your leds.

Hi Bob,
All the examples i have found and you have shown all seem to have control LEDs by adjusting brightness etc..
I simply need it to turn off and on.
What I have done is using the file I have created that works with my single electrode drawn in the top view what i really need it to do.
I am unsure if it will work when you look at file or not but you will get a good idea of why i am having trouble.
I think i need the PWM component but unsure if that is indeed the correct one or how that works.
I have attached below.
Kind regards,
Darren
