MSP430FR2512: Captivate proximity sensors problem

Part Number: MSP430FR2512


Tool/software:

Dear Sir/Ma’am,

I try to create mutual capacitance proximity sensors with using MSP430FR2512IPW16.

But filterCount differs in the following two states at same distance.
(A)The target places on the detecting electrode of sensor when powered on.
(B)The target not places the detecting electrode of sensor when powered on.

Is there any way to get same value at same distance in both cases (A) and (B)?

As a result, the threshold-based object detection decision fails.


I think CAPT_calibrateSensorWithEMC() called via CAPT_updateUI() may affect
filterCount value.
So I commented out CAPT_calibrateSensorWithEMC() in CAPT_updateUI(),
And I set pTuning value to CAPT_calibrateSensorWithEMC() on (B) state.
But filterCount still differs in (A) and (B).
Is there any causes of this?

Also,
Is there any case of the Captivate library implicitly calls CAPT_calibrateSensorWithEMC()?


Thank you for reading.
Best Regards.
