Really good work on this…

I have the general problem with how to do matintence on my Articles when new versions of things are released. In fact there is a new version of Modus Toolbox that will be released shortly which mean that some of my content needs to be updated…

Hi Alan et all,
I’m reproducing the whole series of these lessons/exercises now with Mbed OS 6.2.0. There are a few tweaks here and there, but in general it all works as intended. In regards to the capsense part in this lesson, the good news is that “cycfg_capsense.h” and “cycfg_capsense.c” are now part of the BSP generated code. They are located at the same location of the “design.capsense” file.
I found out that after doing the generation by hand (enclosing paths with double quotes) and including those files in the project I have errors of double definition of a couple of variables.

Attention Cypress: cycfg_capsense.h header file #include is marked as deprecated, so, it works for now, but will break future releases of Mbed OS.
I’ll summarize all the changes needed to port to OS 6.2.0 when I’m done with the exercises.

In reply to Graham. This is what worked for me on Windows- As Scott said we should avoid spaces in project folder name (i named it MbedPrograms) C:\Users\xxxx\MbedPrograms\mouser-mbed-05>C:\Users\mlms\ModusToolbox\tools_2.0\capsense-configurator/capsense-configurator-cli -c mbed-os/targets/TARGET_Cypress/TARGET_PSOC6/TARGET_CY8CKIT_062_WIFI_BT/COMPONENT_BSP_DESIGN_MODUS/design.cycapsense -o \Users\xxxx\MbedPrograms\mouser-mbed-05 -g

I’ve tried on Windows. I used the same command and it works.

Hi Alan
Thanks for the great VTW and guide -really useful
on the capsense-configurator part, can you share the command used to add those files for a Windows (& Linux i guess) machine as well, as getting the syntax right is proving a little difficult

thanks
Graham

When Mbed Studio is installed, it creates the directory for Mbed programs with a space. The Windows CMD prompt will have a problem with spaces in a directory name, so the path needs to be quoted to work properly.

Example:
xxxx = your user directory

C:\Users\xxxx\Mbed Programs\mouser-mbed-05>C:\Users\xxxx\ModusToolbox\tools_2.0\capsense-configurator\capsense-configurator-cli -c .\mbed-os\targets\TARGET_Cypress\TARGET_PSOC \TARGET_CY8CKIT_062_WIFI_BT\COMPONENT_BSP_DESIGN_MODUS\design.cycapsense -o .\mbed-os\targets\TARGET_Cypress\TARGET_PSOC6\TARGET_CY8CKIT_062_WIFI_BT\COMPONENT_BSP_DESIGN_MODUS\ -g –output-dir=”C:\Users\xxxx\Mbed Programs\mouser-mbed-05″ –config=.\mbed-os\targets\TARGET_Cypress\TARGET_PSOC6\TARGET_CY8CKIT_062_WIFI_BT\COMPONENT_BSP_DESIGN_MODUS\design.cycapsense
