capt_acomp_continuous

capt_acomp_continuous#

Overview#

This example shows how to capture touch data using CAPT continuous mode. Comparing with the capt_basic_continuous example, this example uses ACOMP instead of GPIO in measurement period. CAP polls and samples the touch pad data round by round, in each round, all the enabled pins are sampled one by one. To monitor one pad sample finished, both the yes_touch and no_touch interrupt is enabled. The poll done interrupt is enabled to monitor the poll round finished. The delay period between two polling round is configurable, in this example, the delay period is set to about 0.5s. When the example runs, the sampled data is shown in the terminal, and update every about 0.5s. When electrode plate is touched, the sampled data changes too.

Supported Boards#

LPC845BREAKOUT
Hardware requirements
  • Micro USB cable

  • LPC845 Breakout board

  • Personal Computer

Board settings

Make sure R23 is on the LPC845 Breakout board.

Prepare the demo
  1. Connect a micro USB cable between the PC host and the CMSIS DAP USB port on the board.

  2. Open a serial terminal with the following settings:

    • 9600 baud rate

    • 8 data bits

    • No parity
