3.1 System Design Theory

The TIDM-02004 reference design leverages the CapTIvate CAPT-MSP-FR2633 capacitive touch development kit featuring an MSP430FR2633 MCU with CapTIvate Capacitive Touch Technology and the CAPTIVATE-BSWP demonstration panel with self capacitive button, slider and wheel sensors created from copper patterns designed on the PCB. As a user’s finger interacts with these sensors, changes in capacitance are measured by the MSP430FR2633 MCU and processed to determine the validity and type of gesture. Each valid gesture is then mapped to a corresponding keyboard value and transmitted to the MSP430 USB HID keyboard device over an I2C interface where it is reported to the Windows application.
