New examples

  • Added Low power weather station demo for SAML10-XPRO
  • Added SmartEEPROM feature demonstration example for SAM D5x/E5x

Improvements

  • Updated api documentation for spi_m_dma_set_baudrate api

Bug fixes

QTouch Configurator Updates 6.0

New Features

  • Lump and low-power UI design addition
  • Rubber band selection for creating Lump and Low-power sensors
  • Added Low-power tab under parameters in QTouch Dashboard to configure low-power parameters

QTouch Library Updates 6.0

New Features

  • Low-power feature support added with Event Driven and Software Driven approach. In Event Driven approach, either a button or lump sensor can be configured as low-power sensor. In software driven, multiple sensors button/slider/wheel/lump can be configured as low-power
  • Low-power and Lump features are supported for following devices,
    • ATTINY814, ATTINY816, ATTINY817,
    • ATTINY1614, ATTINY1616, ATTINY1617,
    • ATTINY3214, ATTINY3216, ATTINY3217,
    • ATSAML10, ATSAML11
  • A maximum of 16 lump can be created - if the device has sufficient memory. If Lump is configured as low-power with event-driven approach, the low-power detect threshold should be same as that of lump sensor

New examples

  • QTouch Tiny3217 Xplained Pro Selfcap without Event System Example with OnBoard Sensors.
  • QTouch Tiny3217 Xplained Pro Selfcap with Event System Example with OnBoard Sensors
  • QTouch SAML10 Xplained Pro Selfcap Example with OnBoard Sensors
  • QTouch SAML11 Xplained Pro TrustZone Lowpower Example
  • SAME54 and SAMD51: Default clock configuration in START is changed from 24MHz to 48MHz as per recommended in datasheet
  • SAMD1x: Acquisition module (library) is updated to ensure that bursting happens correctly on the configured Y lines
  • Surface debug data is sent during burst again to ensure that seamless data is visible in surface GUI
  • ATTiny81x/ATtiny161x/ATtiny321x: Acquisition module is updated to take care of a bug related to low-power sensor detect threshold (window-comparator threshold)
