ABOUT THE mTOUCH SENSING SOLUTION
USING THE mTOUCH SENSING SOLUTION
Chapter 3. Using the mTouch™ Sensing Solution
This chapter describes the mTouch sensing solution that accompanies the PICDEM
Touch Sense 2 Demo Board, and how it can be used in developing and troubleshooting
touch sense applications. Highlights include:
• About the mTouch Sensing Solution
• Using the mTouch Sensing Solution
The mTouch sensing solution is a multi-purpose application that has been designed for
use with many of Microchip’s touch sense demonstrations. The software provides a
useful tool for viewing, adjusting and debugging various aspects of the demonstration
software preloaded on the PICDEM Touch Sense 2 Demo Board. The mTouch sensing
solution can also be used for development of custom applications.
The operation of the mTouch sensing solution described here is specific to its use with
the Touch Sense 2 Demo Board. For use with other Microchip applications, refer to that
application’s user’s guide.
Before starting the mTouch sensing solution, be sure that the PICDEM Touch Sense 2
Demo Board is connected to a USB port on a personal computer (or a USB hub
connected to the computer), and that the demo board is operating normally.
To start the mTouch sensing solution, double-click on the mTouch sensing solution
shortcut icon on the desktop. Alternatively, the program may be launched by clicking
on the Start button, then Programs > Microchip > mTouch. The application launches
with two windows The Board window and Diagnostic Tool window, as shown in
Figure 3-1.
