capacitive touch sensor ttp223

[habersatt]

Hello!
Instead of push buttons, I have installed capacitive touch sensors type ttp223. Everything works great except for volume up and down and mute.
My question: How do I adjust the gpio-button.py so I can adjust the volume. Maybe someone has already gained experience.
Thanks in advance.

Hi habersatt,

If everything is wired correctly (VCC, GND and GPIO) and you didn't bridge either A or B or the ttp223's board, it should behave just as a normal button, and adjust volume in both ways: Single touch and holding. Make sure to connect the correct GPIO you take from the gpio-button.py to the sensor. Don't mix up pin number and GPIO number.

If that's done and you still experience trouble, feel free to post (the excerpt of) your gpio-button.py and maybe a photo of your connection.

Hi comdoxx,
Thanks for the answer! I will wire it once more and Hope, i will be sucsessfull.

Hi comdoxx,
Unfortunately, the sensor does not behave as it should. After a touch, the volume decreases continuously to 0. If I set the volume to 100, this process repeats itself. An ordinary push button makes everything right on the same pin.
Since I used the sound over a pifiberry dac +, I chose the flexible pinout. Attached now so my gpi-button.py and photos of the wiring.
Thanks and have a nice weekend

Hi Clemens, Thanks for the detailed answer. I'm pretty sure, the touch sensor behaves like a switch. Did you try to touch it on and then off after a second or so? Does it stop then to increase or decrease volume? Am Sa., 26. Jan. 2019, 12:24 hat habersatt <[email protected]> geschrieben:

Hi comdoxx!
Yes that i tried. It‘s Not possible to stop the increase or the decrease of Volume by touching the sensor. I'm surprised about that because the sensor works for the functions play and stop and forward and previous without any problems.

I had exactly the same problem!
Tried resoldering and a lot of other stuff, but it didn't work.
In the end the solution was to remove the hold_repeat=True from volume up and down.

Hi burberius,
that works! Thanks a lot!!!!

Hi @habersatt
I close this thread and started a page in the wiki:
https://github.com/MiczFlor/RPi-Jukebox-RFID/wiki/Capacitive-touch-sensors
Possibly you want to add more info to this page?
Thanks @comdoxx and @burberius for leading the way!
All the best, micz
