Developing Capacitive Touch Interfaces with the PIC32CM PL10 | Engineering Bench Talk
Create responsive touch-based user interfaces with the Microchip PIC32CM PL10 Curiosity Nano Evaluation Kit. In this episode of Engineering Bench Talk, Matt walks through the hardware and software setup, demonstrates capacitive touch and proximity sensing with the QT8 Xplained Pro Extension Kit, and shows how to customize touch performance by adjusting sensor sensitivity and LED response behavior. Built around an ARM Cortex-M0+ MCU, the PIC32CM PL10 supports up to 256 channels of capacitive touch and proximity sensing through Microchip's Peripheral Touch Controller, making it an ideal platform for developing user interfaces for automotive systems, white goods, industrial equipment, and consumer electronics. This video demonstrates how to configure the development environment, load a demo project, and fine-tune touch parameters using MPLAB and VS Code.
