Touch Sensor

[中文]

Introduction

A touch sensor system is built on a substrate which carries electrodes and relevant connections under a protective flat surface. When the surface is touched, the capacitance variation is used to evaluate if the touch was valid.

The sensing pads can be arranged in different combinations (e.g., matrix, slider), so that a larger area or more points can be detected. The touch pad sensing process is under the control of a hardware-implemented finite-state machine (FSM) which is initiated by software or a dedicated hardware timer.

For design, operation, and control registers of a touch sensor, see ESP32 Technical Reference Manual > On-Chip Sensors and Analog Signal Processing [PDF].

In-depth design details of touch sensors and firmware development guidelines for ESP32 are available in Touch Sensor Application Note.

For more information about testing touch sensors in various configurations, please check the Guide for ESP32-Sense-Kit.

Functionality Overview

Description of API is broken down into groups of functions to provide a quick overview of the following features:

  • Initialization of touch pad driver

  • Configuration of touch pad GPIO pins

  • Taking measurements

  • Adjusting parameters of measurements

  • Filtering measurements

  • Touch detection methods

  • Setting up interrupts to report touch detection

  • Waking up from Sleep mode on interrupt

For detailed description of a particular function, please go to Section API Reference. Practical implementation of this API is covered in Section Application Examples.

Initialization

Before using a touch pad, you need to initialize the touch pad driver by calling the function touch_pad_init(). This function sets several .._DEFAULT driver parameters listed in API Reference under Macros. It also removes the information about which pads have been touched before, if any, and disables interrupts.

If the driver is not required anymore, deinitialize it by calling touch_pad_deinit().

Configuration

Enabling the touch sensor functionality for a particular GPIO is done with touch_pad_config(). The following 10 capacitive touch pads are supported for ESP32.

Use the function touch_pad_set_fsm_mode() to select if touch pad measurement (operated by FSM) should be started automatically by a hardware timer, or by software. If software mode is selected, use touch_pad_sw_start() to start the FSM.

Touch State Measurements

The following two functions come in handy to read raw or filtered measurements from the sensor:

They can also be used, for example, to evaluate a particular touch pad design by checking the range of sensor readings when a pad is touched or released. This information can be then used to establish a touch threshold.

Note

Before using touch_pad_read_filtered(), you need to initialize and configure the filter by calling specific filter functions described in Section Filtering of Measurements.

For the demonstration of how to read the touch pad data, check the application example peripherals/touch_sensor/touch_sensor_v1/touch_pad_read.

Method of Measurements

The touch sensor counts the number of charge/discharge cycles over a fixed period of time (specified by touch_pad_set_measurement_clock_cycles()). The count result is the raw data that read from touch_pad_read_raw_data(). After finishing one measurement, the touch sensor sleeps until the next measurement start, this interval between two measurements can be set by touch_pad_set_measurement_interval().

Note

If the specified clock cycles for measurement is too small, the result may be inaccurate, but increasing clock cycles will increase the power consumption as well. Additionally, the response of the touch sensor will slow down if the total time of the interval and measurement is too long.

Optimization of Measurements

A touch sensor has several configurable parameters to match the characteristics of a particular touch pad design. For instance, to sense smaller capacity changes, it is possible to narrow down the reference voltage range within which the touch pads are charged/discharged. The high and low reference voltages are set using the function touch_pad_set_voltage().

Besides the ability to discern smaller capacity changes, a positive side effect is reduction of power consumption for low power applications. A likely negative effect is an increase in measurement noise. If the dynamic range of obtained readings is still satisfactory, then further reduction of power consumption might be done by reducing the measurement time with touch_pad_set_measurement_clock_cycles().

The following list summarizes available measurement parameters and corresponding 'set' functions:

Relationship between the voltage range (high/low reference voltages), speed (slope), and measurement time is shown in the figure below.

Touch Pad - relationship between measurement parameters

Touch pad - relationship between measurement parameters

The last chart Output represents the touch sensor reading, i.e., the count of pulses collected within the measurement time.

All functions are provided in pairs to set a specific parameter and to get the current parameter's value, e.g., touch_pad_set_voltage() and touch_pad_get_voltage().

Filtering of Measurements

If measurements are noisy, you can filter them with provided API functions. Before using the filter, please start it by calling touch_pad_filter_start().

The filter type is IIR (infinite impulse response), and it has a configurable period that can be set with the function touch_pad_set_filter_period().

You can stop the filter with touch_pad_filter_stop(). If not required anymore, the filter can be deleted by invoking touch_pad_filter_delete().

Touch Detection

Touch detection is implemented in ESP32's hardware based on the user-configured threshold and raw measurements executed by FSM. Use the functions touch_pad_get_status() to check which pads have been touched and touch_pad_clear_status() to clear the touch status information.

Hardware touch detection can also be wired to interrupts. This is described in the next section.

If measurements are noisy and capacity changes are small, hardware touch detection might be unreliable. To resolve this issue, instead of using hardware detection/provided interrupts, implement measurement filtering and perform touch detection in your own application. For sample implementation of both methods of touch detection, see peripherals/touch_sensor/touch_sensor_v1/touch_pad_interrupt.

Touch Triggered Interrupts

Before enabling an interrupt on a touch detection, you should establish a touch detection threshold. Use the functions described in Touch State Measurements to read and display sensor measurements when a pad is touched and released. Apply a filter if measurements are noisy and relative capacity changes are small. Depending on your application and environment conditions, test the influence of temperature and power supply voltage changes on measured values.

Once a detection threshold is established, it can be set during initialization with touch_pad_config() or at the runtime with touch_pad_set_thresh().

In the next step, configure how interrupts are triggered. They can be triggered below or above the threshold, which is set with the function touch_pad_set_trigger_mode().

Finally, configure and manage interrupt calls using the following functions:

When interrupts are operational, you can obtain the information from which particular pad an interrupt came by invoking touch_pad_get_status() and clear the pad status with touch_pad_clear_status().

Note

Interrupts on touch detection operate on raw/unfiltered measurements checked against user established threshold and are implemented in hardware. Enabling the software filtering API (see Filtering of Measurements) does not affect this process.

Wakeup from Sleep Mode

If touch pad interrupts are used to wake up the chip from a sleep mode, you can select a certain configuration of pads (SET1 or both SET1 and SET2) that should be touched to trigger the interrupt and cause the subsequent wakeup. To do so, use the function touch_pad_set_trigger_source().

Configuration of required bit patterns of pads may be managed for each 'SET' with:
