By default, the dedicated GPIOs (GPIO1...GPIO3) are set as inputs. Make sure to drive (set to
outputs) these GPIOs if not used, as floating pins may consume unnecessary current.
By default, shared GPOs are push-pull outputs driven low when not measuring.

3. After setting up the QT2160, send a Calibrate command.
4. Read all status bytes once (address 2 to 6), to return the CHANGE line to an inactive
