I took a look at capacitive touch sensing on the MSP430 in 2011 and it was a little… lacking. I had another project come up and had a chance to play around with it again a couple months ago. It\’s nice to see the changes two years have made to the framework provided by TI.

Capacitive Touch Sensing on the MSP430
One of the projects I\’m working on involves using capacitive touch sensing (CTS) on the TI MSP430. TI has been pushing their touch sensing capabilities recently and has even released a library that helps in implementing touch sensing on the MSP430. I decided to give it a try. The short story is that there is a lot on TI\’s site and it is easy to get confused as to what you need. See below for some of my journey getting it going.Continue reading
