3.1.1.1 Getting Started with CapSense User Modules 

To create a new CY8C20xx7/S project in PSoC Designer: 

1.  Create a new PSoC Designer project with CY8C20xx7/S as the target device. 

2.  Select and place the CSDPLUS/SmartSense_EMCPLUS User Module. 

3.  Right-click the user module to access the User Module wizard. 

4.  Set button sensor count, slider configuration, pin assignments, and associations. 

5.  Set pins and global user module parameters. 

6.  Generate the application and switch to the Application Editor. 

7.  Adapt sample code from the user module datasheet to implement buttons or sliders. 

For a detailed procedure for creating a PSoC Designer project and configuring the User Module wizard, refer to the 
datasheet of the specific user module. For code examples on CapSense user modules, see 

Code Examples

. 

3.1.2  CY8C20xx7/S QuietZone Starter Kit 

The  CY8C20xx7/S  QuietZone  Starter  Kit  features  simple  plug-in  hardware  to  make  prototyping  easy.  The  kit  is 
available from our module partner ArtaFlex at the following link: 

www.artaflexmodules.com/quietzone

3.1.3  CapSense Data Viewing Tools 

Many  times  during  CapSense  design,  you  will  want  to  monitor  CapSense  data  (raw  counts,  baseline,  difference 
counts, and so on) for tuning and debugging purposes. There are two CapSense data viewing tools, MultiChart and 
Bridge Control Panel. These tools are explained in the application note
