Welcome to the third session of the ModusToolbox Training Series!

 

In the previous session, we learnt about Digital Peripherals on PSoC 6 and how you can interact with them using the HAL, the PDL, and the BSP.

 

In this session, we are going to introduce you to the industry-leading capacitive touch sensing solution, CapSense. You will learn how to build basic CapSense Applications in Modus Toolbox using the CapSense Middleware Library. This session has interesting demo projects at the end to get started with building your own CapSense application!
