13.2 Capacitive Touch I/O Operation
Enable the Capacitive Touch I/O functionality with CAPTIOEN = 1 and select a port pin using
CAPTIOPOSELx and CAPTIOPISELx. The selected port pin is switched into the Capacitive Touch state,
and the resulting oscillating signal is provided to be measured by a timer. The connected timers are
device-specific (see the device-specific data sheet).
It is possible to scan to successive port pins by incrementing the low byte of the Capacitive Touch I/O
control register CAPTIOCTL_L by 2.
