What is the part number and where can I get the proximity sensor on the PSoC 6 BLE Pioneer kit? It doesn't show in the BOM. The location designator is J13 and it is a two pin device. I wish to use it in a design. Thanks.

Hi Andrew,

CapSense proximity sensor is a simple wire loop connected to J13 as the following images show:

You don't need to populate any other parts for the proximity sensor to work since it uses self capacitance based CapSense which requires just 1 sensor.  Please see the following code example for details:
