In this lab, participants will interface with the Infineon PSoC 6 microcontroller's CAPSENSE hardware to implement capacitive sensing for both buttons and sliders. By harnessing the CAPSENSE capabilities, participants will design touch-based interfaces that react to user inputs. Additionally, they will utilize the Capsense Tuner tool to monitor, calibrate, and fine-tune the capacitive sensing parameters, ensuring optimal responsiveness and accuracy. This hands-on exercise aims to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of capacitive touch technologies, emphasizing the importance of tuning and calibration in delivering a seamless user experience.

Document title: CAPSENSE Button and Slider with Capsense Tuner
The code example features a 5-segment CAPSENSE™ 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 monitoring CAPSENSE™ data using the CAPSENSE™ tuner GUI tool. This project uses the .
