Frequently asked questions
1.
What additional overlays can be used with CAPSENSE
™
?
−
Any kind of non-conductive overlays (up to 5 mm total thickness) like wood, acrylic, and glass can be
used with CAPSENSE
™
. Note that additional tuning may be required when the overlay is changed.
2.
By mistake, I powered my Arduino board while powering the pioneer kit. Did anything get damaged?
−
No, the 5 V and 3.3 V pins on the J1 Arduino power connector are not input pins and have a protection
circuit to prevent the voltage from entering the board. VIN is an input pin and this is routed to the
regulator that is capable of taking an absolute maximum of 20 V.
3.
What precautions needs to be taken while connecting and disconnecting the flex cable?
−
Do not apply excessive force on the actuator when releasing it from its initial position. Using a nail or
finger as shown below, may result in terminal deformation.
−
The actuator rotates around the axis as shown below. Make sure to rotate the whole actuator and not just
the center portion.
−
The actuator opens up to 110°. Do not force the actuator beyond this point. Doing so may result in
actuator damage or breakage.
