INSTALLING THE mTouch™ SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT KIT (SDK) AND
mTouch™ DIAGNOSTIC TOOL
USING THE PICDEM™ TOUCH SENSE AND mTouch™ DIAGNOSTIC TOOL
This section provides an introduction to the PICDEM™ Touch Sense 1 Demonstration
Board and mTouch™ Diagnostic Tool using the demonstration application firmware
pre-programmed on the PIC
sion on the mTouch technology is provided in the mTouch™ User’s Guide (DS41328)
that can be found on the accompanying CD-ROM.
This chapter discusses:
• Installing the mTouch Software Development Kit and Diagnostic Tool
• Using the PICDEM Touch Sense 1 and mTouch Diagnostic Tool
Insert the PICDEM™ Touch Sense 1 CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. Browse to the
CD-ROM directory and select setup.exe to install the Diagnostic Tool.
The mTouch™ SDK contains application notes related mTouch™, documentation such
as the mTouch™ Users Guide, example designs and the mTouch™ Diagnostic Tool.
A working directory is generated during installation that will contain files associated with
the mTouch diagnostic tool.
This directory can be accessed in C:\Program Files\Microchip\mTouch.
2.4.1
The PICDEM™ Touch Sense 1 Demonstration Board can be powered in one of three
ways:
• The included USB cable connected to the USB Mini-B connector input provides
• A PICkit™ 2 Programmer connected to any one of the two PICkit™ 2 Programmer
• A PICkit™ Serial Analyzer connected to the of the PICkit™ Serial Analyzer
This Getting Started Guide will use power provided by the PICkit™ Serial Analyzer.
2.4.2
Ensure that the PICDEM™ Touch Sense 1 Demonstration Board is sitting on a flat
non-conductive surface. Connect the PICKit™ Serial Analyzer to the PICDEM™ Touch
Sense 1 Demonstration Board and then to an available USB port on your PC as shown
in Figure 2-2.
