Quick start

This section provides a simple workflow for how to use the CAPSENSE™ Tuner.

1. Create a CAPSENSE™ application with a Tuner communication interface and program the application into the device. Refer to the Eclipse IDE for ModusToolbox ™ user guide and the CAPSENSE™ Configurator user guide for more details.

   Note: The simplest way to start CAPSENSE™ Tuner is to use the PSOC ™ 6 CAPSENSE™ Buttons and Slider code example configured to work on PSOC™ 6 MCU kits or PSOC™ 4 MSC CAPSENSE™ CSD Button Tuning configured to work on PSOC™ 4 MCU kits.

2. Launch the CAPSENSE™ Tuner .

3. Start Communication. Click Connect and select the required communication interface.

   

   Note: For MiniProg, first, power the device – click the Tuner Communication Setup button to select the communication interface, use the Power button to select and apply the power supply, and proceed with Connect.

   Note: Refer to the KitProg user guide for the supported configurations and modes. For this example, I2C address, sub-address, and speed must match the configuration.

   Note: For the I2C communication, the Tuner only supports the 2-Bytes Sub-address.
