4246M? Are you making LKP?

BTW I uploaded the design of all the 3D printed parts to GitHub https://github.com/Project-Alpaca/LKP-Assy . Still need some rework on the screw hole and cable holes, etc. though.

Yes, I'm making LKP and I have some fundamental questions, I wrote some of them on your profile wall some time ago. It will be great if you'll let me write you private messages, or maybe you can write me to start conversation? It will be very useful

Damn, as I understand, PSoC 5 is not compatible with some PSoC 4 components, as like CapSense 7 or EZI2C, as result, maybe for now I do not need it and maybe better was to buy CY8CKIT-043 :)))

but after all night of searching for the problem I found that it works well with any settings, but not with CapSence 7. With CapSence 7 it works only sometimes with.. I do not know with what settings of capacity it works, but with Capsence 6 works with no problems. But that's not the main mystery. Main mystery is.. why it suddenly stoped working, because it works before!?

I just turned on my controller one day and see that slider is not work. And flashing new firmware with CapSence 7 and no result after that confused me only more. Riddles out of the blue!

The only thing I cannot understand now how I didn't noticed that thing before, because when I ran into these problems - I was little confused and I thought everything is broken but in the same time there is huge difference in work compared to CapSence 5.1 at that settings that I had before. That is why I didn’t even know where to look, but then I rolled back to the very beginning and noticed what the problem was.

Hm that almost sounds like too much parasitic capacitance. What was your finger capacitance set to btw

It can be, but now everything works great and I finally almost completely assembled my controller, so now I like it. But now I think now how to make new controller, somehow may be with using your elements, especially for slider :)))

on slider
cy_boot from 5.7 to 5.9
em_EEPROM_Dynamic from 2.0 to 2.2
LIN_Dynamic from 4.0 to 5.0
And so incredible results only by recompiling program with new components!
Of course, some points will need to be checked in more detail, maybe I'm wrong somewhere, but more shockable that now slider significantly more responsive even with PCB with ground hatching!

What did you use for the finger capacitance value? You might want to reduce it a little if it's currently really high. Looks like it's struggling to pick up any touches.

At this video it's about 0,2pF, maybe, but ideal for copper tape, installed to my controller was 0,54pF. I changed settings when seached answers on questions, that I discribed in video, but then I'll chenge it back or find better value, also I'll make some other changes, so I'm not in hurry now :)

But I do not really remember about settings. I think it's doesn't metter now. I just wanted to show that something that I thought would be better in result turned into a failture, but now I understand what it means better

Stop, what you mean on shield hatching? If I connect this hatching that I made to shield - it will not be a shield hatching? But I tested this variat too and it works better, but only in a little bit, not enough to play with that.

I think the biggest problem for your approach is the wires may be too long and thick for large sensors like the slider. I rolled out my own board not just for the look, but also for finer controls on the sensor trace width and length.

No, wires not a problem at this moment :) (already checked) and I have hope to record tomorrow that video that I said before, because I prepared to show all cases and there will be a shock-content :D
