Participants will develop touch-responsive interfaces, including buttons and sliders, utilizing the CAPSENSE capabilities. By incorporating FreeRTOS, they will learn to manage concurrent tasks efficiently, ensuring smooth and responsive touch interactions. This lab aims to showcase the synergy between capacitive touch technologies and real-time operating systems, emphasizing the benefits of multitasking in enhancing user interface performance and overall system efficiency. ## 🔥 Requirements

## 🚩 Let start ### Create Application

### Coding This code example features a 5-segment linear slider and two CAPSENSE™ buttons. Button 0 turns the LED ON, Button 1 turns the LED OFF, and the slider controls the brightness of the LED. The code example also demonstrates interfacing with the CAPSENSE™ Tuner using the I2C interface. {% code title="main.c" fullWidth="false" %} ```c #include "cybsp.h" #include "FreeRTOS.h" #include "task.h" #include "queue.h" #include "capsense_task.h" #include "led_task.h" /******************************************************************************* * Global constants ******************************************************************************/ /* Priorities of user tasks in this project. configMAX_PRIORITIES is defined in * the FreeRTOSConfig.h and higher priority numbers denote high priority tasks. */ #define TASK_CAPSENSE_PRIORITY (configMAX_PRIORITIES - 1) #define TASK_LED_PRIORITY (configMAX_PRIORITIES - 2) /* Stack sizes of user tasks in this project */ #define TASK_CAPSENSE_STACK_SIZE (256u) #define TASK_LED_STACK_SIZE (configMINIMAL_STACK_SIZE) /* Queue lengths of message queues used in this project */ #define SINGLE_ELEMENT_QUEUE (1u) /******************************************************************************* * Function Name: main() ******************************************************************************** * Summary: * System entrance point.

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.aic-eec.com/biil_psoc6/sensor-interfacing-and-hmi/bdh-shell/capsense-button-and-slider/capsense-button-and-slider-using-freertos.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
