Microchip Mtouch capacitive touch sensor

Posted: Mon Dec 08, 2008 6:20 pm

Hi all,

inspired by Microchip Mtouch app. notes and especially AN1171 and Nuts&volt technical paper (june 2008), I start to write a driver for the Build-in Mtouch µC 16F722, 16F723 and 16F726.

So, here is the code and the questions on the bottom Wink

Code:

//******************************************************************
// Filename: Cap_touch726.c
//
// Purpose: Illustrate the use of the Capacitive Sensing Module
// This program scans 8 pads on a PCB. Each pad is sensed by the Capacitive
// Sensing Module at a fixed interval. The frequency of each pad at rest is averaged.l
// When a pad is touched, the frequency on the Cap. sensing module changes due to the
// extra capacitance from the finger. The change in frequency is noted and the LEDs
// light up to indicate which button was pressed.

and the questions:

/ I need to configure OPTION2 register to choose VCAP pin (in my case, VCAP on RA0) but Vcap configuration should be a fuse.
How to add a fuse on CCS which doesn't exist?

/ How to add an interrupt on CCS device.h file? Because

Code:

#define INT_TIMER1G 0x8C80

and

Code:

#int_timer1g

don't work...

I'm not an expert. So, don't hesitate to add comments on my code.

Vs. 4.083 has fuses for VCAP. Here is part of the .H file:

Code:

//////// Standard Header file for the PIC16F726 device ////////////////

//////// Fuses: VCAP_A0, VCAP_A5, VCAP_A6, NOVCAP,NOBROWNOUT
////////

Quote:

How to add an interrupt on CCS device.h file?

I don't see an entry for INT_TIMER1G in the .H file for vs. 4.083.
This thread has an example of using #int_default as a work-around.
However, read Ttelmah's comment.
http://www.ccsinfo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=106973

Another possible work-around is, if you have the IDE version of the
compiler, then you could edit the Device data (using the Device Editor)
and add the new interrupt. I don't have the IDE version, so I can't
test it for you. Someone mentioned that the Device Editor has a button
to generate a new, updated .H file that will incorporate your changes,
once you have made them.

Again, if your version doesn't have the VCAP fuses, you could use the
Device Editor to add them.

PCM programmer, Thank you very much for your answer. I updated my CCS release and it's now OK about VCAP fuse. About interrupt, I will check your solution using #int_default. Franck

Here is a code that should be work now! (not tested on real hardware)

It is possible to configure output level when a pad is touched:
- high output level when OUT_POLARITY pin is set to GND.(standard)
- low output level when OUT_POLARITY pin is set to VCC.(invert)

INT_MTOUCH is set to VCC when a pad is touched.(interrupt pin for main µC)

2 others pins (config0 and config1) are for incoming code (I2C and SPI possibilities...)

Check I/O DEF and pic datasheet for hardware config.
More coming next with I2C and SPI possibilities.

MTouch Capacitive Sensor
Posted: Mon May 11, 2009 2:45 am

Hi, I know this is a inactive thread but can you please tell me if the above code works and also if there is a circuit or pcb which I can look at for the above code to be used.Thanks

Sorry, I've no test this code because no hardware for the moment. The design of the pcb for the capacitive touch is done but not manufactured. Regards, Franck

Dear Sir,
Based on your code, I have implemented this code in 'C' and with microchip PIC16F722A controller. It is working absolutely 100% fine.

Code:

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------//
// PIC16F722A Capsense Module Test

// Purpose: Illustrate the use of the Capacitive Sensing Module
// This program scans 8 pads on a PCB. Each pad is sensed by the Capacitive
// Sensing Module at a fixed interval. The frequency of each pad at rest is averaged.
// When a pad is touched, the frequency on the Cap. sensing module changes due to the
// extra capacitance from the finger. The change in frequency is noted and the LEDs
// light up to indicate which button was pressed.
// As frequency is reduced, counting of Timer1 counts is also reduced.

// RB0:RB5,RA4:RA5 as touch pads (Analog inputs)
// PORTC as LED outputs (Digital outputs)
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------//

#define LED_1 RC1
#define LED_2 RC2
#define LED_3 RC3
