I'm using a capacitive sensor and would like to know more about the details of capsense. The nRF SDK only references it in softdevice 12, I don't see anything in the newer versions. There's also the confusion of charging versus the (supposedly non-working) frequency method.
Any insights or documentation you'd point me to? I'm trying to tune the RC circuit. I'm assuming we're measuring the RC time constant, but a bit more detail will help me tune the RC for the timing and sampling rate I'm looking for. Clearly, it is measuring the time to charge, but to what levels? How are the comparator values chosen? How do we know when a conversion is done? Inquiring minds...
Thanks!
