xobsHi all.  I created a "quickstart" repo, where all you need is any ARM compiler and a copy of "make".  It's at http://github.com/im-tomu/tomu-quickstart09:25
tpbTitle: GitHub - im-tomu/tomu-quickstart: A quicker way to get started building samples (at github.com)09:25
xobsI started working on captouch, in case anyone feels like poking at that.  It definitely needs tuning.  My current work is in the "captouch" directory.09:26
xobsI did some of the work on the flight I just got off of.  It works by writing status data to the serial port.09:28
xobsI snuck in the captouch trick from MadHacker, too, so there are more options for inputs.09:34
xobsBut it's largely untested.  I don't have a portable scope for the plane, for example.09:35
MadHackerxobs: Sound card?10:19
MadHackerThe sample rate is a bit limited, but it's more than zero.10:19
MadHackerAlso, just had a fun thought. Because you have two adjacent touch pads, and because you can get some "pressure" sensing from the cap touch waveform, you can potentially sense "drags" across them.10:22
MadHackerSo you can have two touches plus two drag directions plus touch in the centre (across both) for user interactions.10:23
MadHackerOn metal-cased laptops I wonder if you can tell the difference between a user isolated from the case and touching the case, too?10:25
MadHackerSorry, just throwing some ideas out there.10:26
xobsIdeas are good.10:32
xobsI need to hook up a scope to figure out why only one of the pads is reliably doing touch sensing.10:32
MadHackerIs there an ADC on either pin?10:43
MadHackerCroc-clip the two together maybe.10:43
MadHacker(or paperclip, even)10:43
MadHacker+ then use one as an ADC to diagnose the other.10:43
MadHackerOr between two tomus.10:43
xobsThere is an ADC on each pin.10:51
xobsRather, there is an ADC on PE12 and PE13, which are the compliments of PC0 and PC1.10:51
MadHackerYou won't have the ADC bandwidth to sample the waveform directly, I guess, but you can probably configure it to run like a sampling oscilloscope with a little careful timing, because it's a repetitive waveform you're trying to sample.10:54
xobsTiming isn't so great on Tomu, because of the lack of a crystal.  The MCU does, however, do some clever clock recovery to get it to +/- 1% of 24 MHz.11:39

MadHackerDid anyone get dirtypcbs to do a batch of tomu boards? Turn out OK?11:58
xobsI got Hackvana to.  They turned out alright, aside from my bad PCB design.12:04
xobsdirtypcbs seemed alright, too.12:04
xobsThough I never actually powered those up.12:05
MadHackerI've ordered some up, then, and I'll give them a go.12:06
MadHackerI'll let you know how I get on.12:06
