I am working on a project and trying to interface the CY8CPROTO-063-BLE board with an external I2C CapSense buttons and slider. Should I use the built in CapSense module, or just I2C? Attached below is the module I am attempting to interface with.

Hi @theaaronm 

 

PSoC 63 BLE supports CapSense natively. So, you can use the built-in CapSense directly by having the sensors and routing them to the GPIOs in CY8CPROTO-063-BLE. Note that this kit does not have a CapSense sensor so this needs to be designed. 

I would recommend going for the built-in CapSense as PSoC 6 has an advanced CapSense IP and will be able to support corner cases in design as well.

 

Best regards, 
Hari

Hi Hari,

Thank you for your advice! Does the PSoC6 allow for the ADC to be used at the same time as the CapSense button and sliders?

 

Thank you,

Aaron

Hi @theaaronm 

 

Yes, we can use CapSense and ADC together. Please take a look at this thread - https://community.infineon.com/t5/PSoC-6/CY8CPROTO-063-BLE-ADC-amp-CapSense/td-p/322415
