Use the CY3218-CAPEXP2 Evaluation Kit to evaluate the CapSense slider, LED drive, digital
input, and I2C features of the CapSense Express device. Via the CapSense Express Configura-
tion Tool in PSoC Express, the four status LEDs can be controlled by the CapSense slider and
the mechanical button. The CapSense Express device mounted on the board is in the 16-QFN
package. The board is powered with a AAA battery mounted in the battery holder. A boost con-
verter converts the input voltage in the range of 0.9V-1.5V to the device operating voltage of
3.3V. The board can also be powered using an I2C to USB bridge connected to the I2C header.
