Cappaddy

Overview

cappaddy is a audio sample player with a capacitive touch controls; portable and battery-powered.

cap-pad-dy is a work-in-progress prototype to try out different things with capacitive touch interfaces.

Another project to learn more about ARM dev, STM32's peripherals (SPI, TIMER, DAC, DMA, TSC...) and some nice new parts like SPI flash, a new mono audio amp and a 3.3V voltage regulator/boost-converter, ideal for normal AAA cells.

Software

Currently used/evaluated tools and sources to get the board up and running:

• Free tools for ARM development (gcc-none-eabi toolchain, OpenOCD)
• STM32CubeMX and sample code by ST
• Code::Blocks as an IDE
