Overview
Das CapSense 2 Click Board™ ist eine kompakte Zusatzplatine, die projizierte kapazitive Berührungen problemlos in Benutzeranwendungen integriert. Diese Platine verfügt über den CAP1114, einen mehrkanaligen kapazitiven Berührungssensor, der die Kapazität des menschlichen Körpers als Eingabe verwendet und die Echtzeit-Sensorinformationen direkt über die serielle I2C-Schnittstelle von Microchip bereitstellt. Diese Platine enthält kapazitive Sensorelemente, einen 7-Segment-Schieberegler, zwei Tasten und vier LED-Anzeigen, die die Aktivierung einiger dieser Teile optisch erkennen. Dieses Click Board™ bietet zuverlässige und genaue Sensorik für jede Anwendung, die kapazitive Berührungssensorfunktionen verwendet.
Das CapSense 2 Click Board™ wird von einer mikroSDK-kompatiblen Bibliothek unterstützt, die Funktionen enthält, die die Softwareentwicklung vereinfachen. Dieses Click Board™ wird als vollständig getestetes Produkt geliefert und ist bereit für den Einsatz auf einem System, das mit der mikroBUS™-Buchse ausgestattet ist.
How Does The CapSense 2 Click Board™ Work?
The CapSense 2 Click Board™ is based on the the CAP1114, a multi-channel capacitive touch sensor from Microchip. The CAP1114 takes human body capacitance as an input and directly provides real-time sensor information via a serial interface. It also comes with programmable sensitivity for touch buttons and slider switch applications.
The CAP1114 contains multiple power states, including several low-power operating states. It has four operational states: Fully Active, Sleep, Deep Sleep, and Inactive depending on the status of the SLEEP, DEACT, and DSLEEP register bits. When the device transitions between power states, previously detected touches (for deactivated channels) are cleared, and the status bits reset.
As mentioned earlier, this board contains a 7-segment capacitive sensing slider that can detect a slide in either the UP or DOWN direction, as well as two touch buttons. These pads are the only elements on the top side of the board, allowing the protective acrylic plexiglass layer placement. Each of these features has an LED indicator representing the activity in that field. If a touch event is detected on one of these onboard pads, the state of the corresponding LED will be changed, indicating an activated channel; more precisely, touch has been detected on that specific field.
The CapSense 2 Click Board™ communicates with MCU using the standard I2C 2-Wire interface to read data and configure settings. It also possesses an additional alert interrupt signal, routed on the INT pin of the mikroBUS™ socket labelled as ALT, indicating when a specific interrupt event occurs (touch detection), and Reset pin routed to the RST pin of the mikroBUS™ socket used to hold all internal blocks of the CAP1114 in a reset state.
The CapSense 2 Click Board™ can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate logic voltage level conversion before using MCUs with different logic levels. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.

Key functions
-
capsense2_read_registerThis function reads a data byte from the selected register by using I2C serial interface. -
capsense2_get_alert_pinThis function returns the alert pin logic state. -
capsense2_clear_interruptThis function clears the INT bit of the main status register if the interrupt pin is asserted.
Example Description
This example demonstrates the use of the CapSense 2 Click Board™ by reading and displaying the sensor's events.
