Preface

®
Atmel
QT5 Xplained Pro kit is an extension board that enables the
evaluation of mutual-capacitance touch using the Peripheral Touch
Controller (PTC) module. The kit shows how easy it is to design a nice
looking capacitive touch user interface for the PTC. The kit includes one
®
board with a curved QTouch
mutual-capacitance slider and two QTouch
mutual-capacitance buttons. In addition it has 16 LEDs arranged as two 7-
segment digits separated with a colon.

    When an Xplained Pro extension is connected to an Xplained Pro MCU board the information is read and sent to Atmel Studio. The Atmel Kits extension, installed with Atmel Studio, will give relevant information, code examples, and links to relevant documents. The table below shows the data fields stored in the ID chip with example content.

    4.1. Electrical Characteristics QT5 Xplained Pro can be connected to several Xplained Pro MCU boards and manually connected to other hardware. Xplained Pro MCU board(s) that does not have 3.3V as it's primary target voltage will read all ID devices on connected extensions to check if they support the target voltage before enabling it to the extension headers.

    5.1. Identifying Product ID and Revision The revision and product identifier of Xplained Pro boards can be found in two ways; either through Atmel Studio or by looking at the sticker on the bottom side of the PCB. By connecting an Xplained Pro MCU board to a computer with Atmel Studio running, an information window will pop up.
