Using the CY8CKIT-149 PSoC® 4100S Plus Prototyping Kit, what view the touchpad serial data in a terminal emulator? Reading serial data is a very important design consideration in my application.

Hi JoJo_4453281​,

You can use UART block to read and write serial data. You can refer to this code example CE224406 - PSoC 4 UART which prints data on the serial terminal application. You can refer to UART Component datasheet for more information regarding UART block.

Please let me know if you have any further queries.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

I made a simple sample using both UART and CapSense Tuner.

You can enable/disable uart schematic or ezi2c schematic.

If you disable both uart schematic and ezi2c schematic,

the project just works as CapSense -> LED sample

If you enable uart schematic, button state will be written to the serial output

If you disable uart schematic, and ezi2c schamtic is enabled.

You can use CapSense Tuner.

To use CapSense Tuner please note

(1) Build and Write the Project into CY8CKIT-149

(2) Make sure no serial terminal program is connected

(3) Program is working (i.e. If you touch the button(4.5), the LED12 lights)

(4) Then from the schematic of capsense

     Right Click the CapSense component and select "Launch Tuner"

(5) When Sense Tuner Started, select "Connect" button

(6) When Connected, Select "Start" button

Note: I always forget this...

(7) Then when you touch the CapSense Button, the level is graphically displayed

when I touch the button
