5.1.1 Hardware

  • MSP CapTIvate MCU Development Kit (Order | User's Guide | Design Files)

    • This development kit helps you evaluate button, slider, wheel, and proximity functions with the self capacitance and mutual capacitance sensing capabilities of CapTIvate technology.

  • EVM430-CAPMINI (Order | User's Guide | Design Files)

    • The EVM430-CAPMINI is an easy-to-use evaluation board for the MSP430FR2512 capacitive-touch-sensing microcontroller. It demonstrates the key features of CapTIvate technology such as ultra-low power and ease of use. The onboard CapTIvate HID bridge tool supports real-time tuning with CapTIvate Design Center. The board includes 4 touch buttons and 4 LEDs for creating a simple user interface. It also provides a buzzer for advanced application. The board can be powered by a USB cable or an onboard CR1632 coin battery to enable stand-alone demonstration.

  • MSP430 CapTIvate Touch Keypad BoosterPack™ Plug-in Module (Order | User's Guide | Design Files)

    • The BOOSTXL-CAPKEYPAD lets you extend a LaunchPad™ development kit by adding a 12-key capacitive touch numeric keypad with LED backlighting and proximity wakeup. Even if you do not have a LaunchPad development kit, the BOOSTXL-CAPKEYPAD can be used as a simple CapTIvate technology evaluation module when coupled with the CAPTIVATE-PGMR board included in the MSP CapTIvate MCU Development Kit.

  • Touch on Metal Capacitive Sensing Add-on Board for the CapTIvate Development Kit (Order | User's Guide | Design Files)

    • This is an add-on board for the MSP CapTIvate Development Kit (MSP-CAPT-FR2633) that allows designers and engineers evaluate touch on metal technology.

  • Customized Hardware

    • Evaluating an application involves laying out a basic PCB with a footprint for the sensor connector, or laying out electrodes with copper tape and wiring them into the connector. You can use the CAPTIVATE-FR2633 board in the MSP CapTIvate MCU Development Kit to evaluate your sensor PCB (refer to the CAPTIVATE-FR2633 board pinout overview).
