Microchip QT7 Add-on Board
Overview
The Microchip QT7 Xplained Pro kit is an extension board that enables the evaluation of self-capacitance touch using the Peripheral Touch Controller (PTC) module. The kit shows the moisture performance of capacitive touch using the PTC Driven shield. The kit includes one board with a QTouch® technology self capacitance slider, and two QTouch technology self-capacitance buttons. It also has 8 LEDs, one each for corresponding buttons and slider positions.
More information about the shield can be found at QT7 Xplained Pro User Guide [1].
