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 with 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

    to work on PSOC™ 4 MCU kits.

  2. Launch the CAPSENSE™ Tuner

    .

  3. Start Communication. Click

    Note:

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