Click library

Software Support

We provide a library for the CapSense Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.

Package can be downloaded/installed directly form compilers IDE(recommended way), or downloaded from our LibStock, or found on mikroE github account.

Library Description

This library contains API for CapSense Click driver.

Standard key functions :

Example key functions :

Examples Description

This example waits user to press top and bottom button to turn click's LEDs ON or OFF.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

Initialize CapSense click and logger.

void application_init ( void )
{
log_cfg_t log_cfg;
// Logger initialization.
log_cfg.level = LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG;
LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
log_info( &logger, "---- Application Init ----" );
// Click initialization.
CAPSENSE_MAP_MIKROBUS( cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
capsense_init( &capsense, &cfg );
capsense_default_cfg( &capsense );
}

Application Task

Press top and bottom button and turn it ON or OFF button LED's.

void application_task ( void )
{
uint8_t current_led_state;
uint8_t button_select;
uint8_t slider_value;
uint16_t slider_lvl;
button_select = capsense_read_data( &capsense, CAPSENSE_CS_READ_STATUS0 );
slider_value = capsense_read_data_bytes( &capsense, CAPSENSE_CS_READ_RAW );
capsense_write_data( &capsense, CAPSENSE_OUTPUT_PORT0, current_led_state );
Delay_ms( 100 );
if ( button_select == 8 )
{
current_led_state ^= 0x01;
Delay_ms( 100 );
}
if ( button_select == 16 )
{
current_led_state ^= 0x02;
Delay_ms( 100 );
}
if ( button_select == 24 )
{
current_led_state = ~current_led_state;
Delay_ms( 100 );
}
slider_lvl = capsense_get_slider_lvl( &capsense );
if ( slider_value != 0 )
{
log_printf( &logger, "Slider lvl. %u \r\n", slider_lvl );
log_printf( &logger, "Slider value: %u \r\n", slider_value );
Delay_ms( 100 );
}
}

The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly form compilers IDE(recommneded) or found on LibStock page or mikroE GitHub accaunt.

Additional notes and informations

Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. The terminal available in all Mikroelektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.
