Getting started with QT600

To use the QT600 you will need to have both AVRStudio 4.18 or later, and AVR QTouch Studio 3.00 or later installed. Download the latest version from http://www.atmel.com/.

The MCU boards must be programmed with the QTouch application code.

Complete example projects for the QT600 MCU boards can be downloaded from: http://www.atmel.com/QT600.

The example projects include a precompiled Intel hex file that can be programmed directly into the flash of the MCU. In addition the fuses must be set to the correct value for the application to work. Refer to the main.c file in each project for details.

To use the QT600 as a programmer: press the button and keep it pressed until the Status LED changes from orange to red color (~5 sec). This will switch the QT600 from Touch Debug mode to Programmer mode.

The Touch Data LED on the QT600 indicates mode:

Make sure that the Touch Data LED is off before attempting to connect to the QT600 from the AVRStudio programming dialog. Use AVR Studio 4.18 or later.

You should now be able to view the touch data signals and the state of each sensor.
