Designing a capacitive touch solution is hard and involves hardware and software as well as mechanical design expertise. With the CapTIvate design center GUI, engineers can set up their designs in five minutes or less. CapTIvate design center is a one stop shop for tools, software, and documentation. A hardware engineer with little or no software expertise can configure and tune the touch sensors by following these steps: drag sensors to the GUI; configure them, for example self-capacitance vs. mutual capacitance, number of electrodes etc.; tune the sensors in real-time; generate source code; and build the generated source code.
