Gesture-based capacitive touch speaker interface reference design

Description

The Gesture-Based Capacitive Touch Speaker Interface Reference Design demonstrates an ultra-low-power panel for controlling speaker systems. The design uses an MSP430™ microcontroller with CapTIvate™ technology for recognizing capacitive touch events. Using a self-capacitance configuration of sensors to detect proximity: tap: drag: and swipe gestures: this design can enhance a speaker system's interface and improve the user experience. The MSP430FR2633 MCU drives all capacitive sensing functionality.

Features
