Getting Started with QE for Capacitive Touch for RA

QE for Capacitive Touch from Renesas enables development of touch sensors by simply following a guide on a GUI, thus contributing to shortening the development period for touch sensor functions that take advantage of the performance of Capacitive Sensing Unit (CTSU2).

Additional Details

Functions

The GUI makes it easy for even a beginner to develop touch user interfaces.

Simple GUI operations allow even a beginner to create the configuration for use with a touch user interface, monitor the state of input through the touch sensors, and adjust parameters.

Furthermore, since this tool can adjust tuning parameters and reflect the results through display in real-time, it is very useful for finding the appropriate parameters in various situations, such as in the presence of much static electricity or in cases of use with wet hands.

Automatic tuning for touch sensor sensitivity

This tool enables automatic tuning for the sensitivity of the capacitive touch sensors. You can complete basic tuning within a few minutes by following the instructions in the pop-up messages.

3D gesture recognition

You can develop a gesture application that reacts "by anyone's hand" without any specialized skills just by actually performing the gesture that you want AI to remember on the capacitance sensor.
