Original question:

FDC 1004 GUI Source Code not available / Using linux to connect to FDC1004 EVM

FDC1004EVM: FDC1004EVM, sample code for data acquisition from a PC (USB/serial)

Part Number: FDC1004EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: FDC1004,

Hello,  I own a FDC1004 EVM board and I would like to do online processing of data to test a solution.

With the Sensing GUI I am able to acquire data but I can not process it during acquisition.

I would like to ask if there is a library in C/C++, python .. that I can use to configure the board and acquire data on a PC (Linux, MacOS o Win).

I found many resources for Arduino platform but almost nothing for PC.

Thank you, Nicola

    Hi Nicola,

    You can find information and example code for communicating with the MSP430 on the FDC1004EVM in the "Capacitive Sensing Sample Code" found at the bottom of this page: www.ti.com/.../toolssoftware

    Best Regards,

    Hi Kristin,

        actually "CapacitiveSensingSampleCodeEnergia.ino", can be used to "link a FDC1004 to a MSP430 LaunchPad" and not to acquire data for the FDV1004 EVM board with a PC.

    After some search, I found some an old post suggesting to use "SSP_Protocol_Int0v4.js". Still, it is not a handy library to rapidly test a solution which needs near real-time processing of acquired data.

    Hope you can indicate a truly effective solution.

    Thank you, Nicola

    Hi Nicola,

    Unfortunately this sample code is all we have available for the FDC1004. The Launchpads are fairly inexpensive and have a large amount of sample code available that may help you. In addition, the MSP430 on the recommended Launchpad and the FDC1004EVM are the same, so adapting the sample code for use with the FDC1004EVM should be fairly straightforward.

    Regards,
