Hi Jim,

It is usually the simple things that can give you the biggest problems.

Luckily you persisted and discovered the truth.

I look forward to you demo.

So, feeling completely dorky responding to my own post, but that is okay. Big success in just a couple hours of time.

My project uses two sets of CS Slides. One for temp and the other for flow. This means double the IOs, LEDs, CS tuning, etc. I decided that using a single CS BTN as a "toggle" switching the slider between flow and temp would kill 50% of IOs needed. Plus, I'm using RGB LEDs on I2C and now I've also reduced the LEDs by 50% as well.

Per the usage of Thermistors, 3 in this design, by using the example in the other projects and data sheet, I'd need 9 pins. Using a Mux, I've reduced it to 6.

Of course, after I hit post. I triple check the Agilent and NI SW, it is on. I kill it. Still acts flaky. Unplug and replug MiniProg 3 USB for the 8th time.

And it WORKS! So, CapSense on Dev Kit with PSoC 4….works per the data sheet.

I've got feeling!!! Weekend is going to be very productive.
