hello,
My name is satyendra and i am trying to interface capacitve touch with msp430g2955. As far now i can easily interface one capacitive touch pad as switch with P1.0 but cannot interface other pins. So if anyone has interfaced capacitive touch as switch for any other pin please help me.
Hi Satyendra,
I recommend taking a look at the MSP430Ware examples for the MSP430G2553. While this is not the device you're trying to implement capacitive touch on, it is in the same family of devices. There are also examples showing how to implement capacitive touch on multiple pins.
You can access these examples in CCS via View --> Resource Explorer or on the cloud here. The examples you're looking for include pinosc in the name. Let me know if you need any further help.
Best regards,
Caleb Overbay
Hi Satyendra,
The examples have been tested and proven to work and the example provided for the G2553 will work for the G2955. What problems were you encountering when trying out this example?
Best regards,
Caleb Overbay
Below is the fucntion for P1.0 it works perfectly
void pin_osc_measure2(void)
{
TA0CTL = TASSEL_0+MC_2; // TACLK, cont mode
TA0CCTL1 = CM_3+CCIS_2+CAP; // Pos&Neg,GND,Cap
//for (i = 0; i<NUM_SEN; i++)
P1DIR &= ~ BIT0; // P1.1 is the input used here
P1SEL &= ~ BIT0;
P1SEL2 |= BIT0;
/*Setup Gate Timer*/
WDTCTL = WDT_meas_setting; // WDT, ACLK, interval timer
TA0CTL |= TACLR; // Clear Timer_A TAR
__bis_SR_register(LPM0_bits+GIE); // Wait for WDT interrupt
TA0CCTL1 ^= CCIS0; // Create SW capture of CCR1
meas_cnt[0] = TACCR1; // Save result
WDTCTL = WDTPW + WDTHOLD; // Stop watchdog timer
P1SEL2 &= ~BIT0;
TACCR1 &= 0;
__delay_cycles(100);
if(meas_cnt[0] < 1000)
{
P2OUT |= BIT2;
// __delay_cycles(99000);
}
else
{
P2OUT &= ~BIT2;
//__delay_cycles(99000);
}
}
meas_cnt[0]=1948 when not touched
meas_cnt[0]=558 when touched
Function for P1.1. This is provided by TI
void pin_osc_measure5(void)
{
TA0CTL = TASSEL_3+MC_2; // TACLK, cont mode
TA0CCTL1 = CM_3+CCIS_2+CAP; // Pos&Neg,GND,Cap
P1DIR &= ~ BIT1; // P1.1 is the input used here
P1SEL &= ~ BIT1;
P1SEL2 |= BIT1;
/*Setup Gate Timer*/
WDTCTL = WDT_meas_setting; // WDT, ACLK, interval timer
TA0CTL |= TACLR; // Clear Timer_A TAR
__bis_SR_register(LPM0_bits+GIE); // Wait for WDT interrupt
TA0CCTL1 ^= CCIS0;
meas_cnt[2] = TACCR1;// Save result
WDTCTL = WDTPW + WDTHOLD; // Stop watchdog timer
P1SEL2 &= ~BIT1;
//TACCR1 &= 0;
if(meas_cnt[1] < 111)
{
P2OUT |= BIT2;
//__delay_cycles(99000);
}
else
{
P2OUT &= ~BIT2;
// __delay_cycles(99000);
}
}
When its touched or not, meas_cnt[1] which should change, have no change and gives 0.
Hi satyendra,
I can't find that function in any of the TI provided code examples. Which example are you referring to? I think this example is what you should be referring to:

Also, it's very hard to read your code when it's posted in plain text format. If you need to post code to the forum, can you use the Syntaxhighlighter?

Hi satyendra,
I believe you issue is that you're using the wrong timer. On the G2553, Timer0_A3 has the appropriate internal connections for pin osc when selecting INCLK as the source. However on the G2955, Timer1_A3 has the appropriate connections as seend in Table 13 of the datasheet:
Hope this helps and let me know if this works.
Best regards,
Caleb Overbay
Hi Caleb,
i used TIMER! as you suggested it works well. I will let you know if I have any more problem. Thanks for your precious support it was very difficult to find what was going wrong.
