Capacitive Touch Plug-In Tower System Starter Kit
The Human-Machine Interface (HMI) designs are in high demand, especially those requiring cost-effective touch sensing functionality. Adding capacitive touch to your embedded design is simple with the NXP's TWRPI-TOUCH-STR Tower Plug-In Starter Kit.
The NXP's TWRPI-TOUCH-STR Tower Plug-In Starter Kit is bundled as a complete set of four plug-ins, or snap-in components, the TWRPI-TOUCH-STR is designed to bring touch sensing to life in your Tower System designs. Simply place any combination of plug-ins from the Capacitive Touch Tower Plug-In Starter Kit onto a parent controller or peripheral module in the Tower System, and start prototyping quickly and easily. It's that simple, and quite literally, at your fingertips.
- TWRPI-TSS: Touch sense TWRPI with pull-up resistors for use with MCUs running touch sense software (TSS) and interfacing to touch pad TWRPIs using GPIO signals
- TWRPI-MPR121: Touch sense TWRPI with NXP MPR121 touch sense controller. Manages touch interfaces to touch pad TWRPIs and communicates back to the host MCU via I2C.
- TWRPI-ROTARY: Touch pad TWRPI with a discrete, non-multiplexed rotary touch pad interface
- TWRPI-KEYPAD: Touch pad TWRPI with a classic 12-button keypad interface
Key Applications: Touch Sensing Applications.
Features
- Compatible with the NXP Tower System modules with touch sense and touch pad tower Plug-In (TWRPI) sockets
- Bundled as 3 different sets of plug-ins: TWRPI-TOUCH-STR, the TWRPITSS-Sliders and the TWRPITSS-SHIELD
- The TWRPI-TOUCH-STR, includes a discrete non-multiplexed rotary touchpad interface, a classic 12 button keypad interface, an MPR121 to manage touch pad interfaces and communicate back to the host MCU via I2C and the TSS board with pull-up resistors for use with the MCU
- The TWRPITSS-Sliders offer a linear analog slider made up of 2 electrodes and complemented with single electrodes for additional functions, the second board is a circular analog slider made up of 4 electrodes. A central electrode is provided for extra functionality
- The TWRITSS-SHIELD contains 2 boards with different shielded layouts
