CapSense 2 Click is a compact add-on board that easily integrates projected capacitive touch into user's applications. This board features the CAP1114, a multi-channel capacitive touch sensor that takes human body capacitance as an input and directly provides the real-time sensor information via the I2C serial interface from Microchip. This board contains capacitive sensing elements, a 7-segment slider, two buttons, and four LED indicators that visually detect the activation on some of these parts. This Click board™ offers reliable and accurate sensing for any application that uses capacitive touch sensing functions.

Click library

  • Author : Stefan Filipovic
  • Date : Dec 2021.
  • Type : I2C type

Software Support

We provide a library for the CapSense 2 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 from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.

Library Description

This library contains API for CapSense 2 Click driver.

Standard key functions :

  • capsense2_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

    void capsense2_cfg_setup ( capsense2_cfg_t *cfg );
  • capsense2_init Initialization function.

    err_t capsense2_init ( capsense2_t *ctx, capsense2_cfg_t *cfg );
  • capsense2_default_cfg Click Default Configuration function.

    err_t capsense2_default_cfg ( capsense2_t *ctx );

Example key functions :

  • capsense2_read_register This function reads a data byte from the selected register by using I2C serial interface.

    err_t capsense2_read_register ( capsense2_t *ctx, uint8_t reg, uint8_t *data_out );
  • capsense2_get_alert_pin This function returns the alert pin logic state.

    uint8_t capsense2_get_alert_pin ( capsense2_t *ctx );
  • capsense2_clear_interrupt This function clears the INT bit of the main status register if the interrupt pin is asserted.

    err_t capsense2_clear_interrupt ( capsense2_t *ctx );

Example Description

This example demonstrates the use of CapSense 2 Click board by reading and displaying the sensor's events.

The demo application is composed of two sections :

Application Init

Initializes the driver and performs the Click default configuration which resets the Click board and links the desired LEDs to buttons and swipe sensors.


void application_init ( void )
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;  /**< Logger config object. */
    capsense2_cfg_t capsense2_cfg;  /**< Click config object. */

    /** 
     * Logger initialization.
     * Default baud rate: 115200
     * Default log level: LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG
     * @note If USB_UART_RX and USB_UART_TX 
     * are defined as HAL_PIN_NC, you will 
     * need to define them manually for log to work. 
     * See @b LOG_MAP_USB_UART macro definition for detailed explanation.
     */
    LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
    log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
    log_info( &logger, " Application Init " );

    // Click initialization.
    capsense2_cfg_setup( &capsense2_cfg );
    CAPSENSE2_MAP_MIKROBUS( capsense2_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    if ( I2C_MASTER_ERROR == capsense2_init( &capsense2, &capsense2_cfg ) ) 
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Communication init." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }

    if ( CAPSENSE2_ERROR == capsense2_default_cfg ( &capsense2 ) )
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Default configuration." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }

    log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
}

Application Task

Waits for an event interrupt and displays the event on the USB UART.

void application_task ( void )

    {

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. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.

I2C MUX 2 Click is a quad bidirectional translating I2C and SMBus switch with reset and interrupt functions, intended for applications with I2C slave address conflicts. It features a quad bidirectional translating switch controlled via the I2C bus, labeled as TCA9545A from Texas Instruments. Four interrupt inputs (INT3–INT0), one for each of the downstream pairs, are provided on Click board. One interrupt (INT) output acts as an AND of the four interrupt inputs.
