As the name suggest, this is a simple project to for test the basic functionality of the Touchy board. It uses Silabs CapsenseCircleSlider example project as its template. Touchy board.
Note the instructions were taken directly from silabs AN945SW.zip and AN945.pdf.
Here's the video @opticalworm running through the process of uploading firmware on to the Touchy board via its serial bootloader.
This project uses Silabs Simplicity studio.
The great news is that the Touch board has its debugger ports routed out to the 2.54mm pins headers. However, the board does have a bootloader already programmed so if you have no intention to spend money on a debugger you have the choice of not using a debugger.
That said, if you are planning on doing some heavy development on the touchy board or even on the EFM8SBS1 cores then here are a couple of debugger that you can use.
- (expensive) J-Link Or (cheapest) Silabs DEBUGADPTR1-USB
