Introduction
The Touch Workshop V4.1 platform is a touch development platform, which has improved functions based on version V4.0. Users can freely match software packages, select parameters and select pins in the platform. After the software packages have been matched, users can add or create programs in the “USER PROGRAM”. This document will introduce how to use the platform and introduce relevant development processes.
Platform Introduction
Functional Introduction
- Supports drag, pull, click, select and other graphical operations.
- Integrated application software package, such as touch, communication and LED driving, etc., which can be directly used.
- Automatically generates simple circuit diagrams, flowcharts and software structure description.
- Chart display and data quantification are convenient for signal analysis and parameter adjustment.
- Provides program examples and simple editing tools for improving user development efficiency.
Tool Requirements
Emulation Development Tools (e-Link hardware & HT-IDE3000 software)
Debug Tools (BS-eBridge hardware & Touch Workshop V4.1)
Operation Interface Description
Main Interface
- Project Management: Provides different series of touch MCUs for selection.
- Build: The platform can generate a programming file for the project.
- Debug: Quantified display via an oscilloscope, real-time analysis of touch signals and parameter adjustment.
- Help: Includes languages, user guide, upgrade firmware and platform version.
- Toolbox: Application software package list.
- Configuration Area: MCU emulation diagram for software package configuration and pin function configuration.
- Parameter Area: Adjusts software package parameters.
- The usage process of the platform main interface will have detailed introduction in the “Project Creation” section.
Debug Interface
- Main functional area: Oscilloscope, form and energy bar display area.
- Subfunctional area: Communication setting, parameter area and upload/download parameter.
- Platform Usage Process
- Language Switch
- There are English, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese provided by the platform, for switching the platform language.
Platform Usage Process

Project Creation
- Click on the “New”
- Select the MCU type, project location and set the project name
- Drag the user program software package to the MCU configuration area
Touch Software Package Configuration Process
- Drag the touch software package to the MCU configuration area
- Click the parameter fields to adjust the touch package parameters (Enable/disable function, adjust parameter values)
- Touch pin configuration (touch keys that are not in use can be disabled if necessary)
Debug Process
- Drag the communication package to the MCU configuration area (the touch communication package should be used with the touch package, otherwise an error message will be displayed)
- Configure communication pins (the default communication pins may be different from the required pins, the functional box can be dragged to the corresponding pin)
- Configure communication package parameters (for example, the baud rate can be configured in the UART package)
- Write the program to the MCU (can be programmed directly via the e-Link)
- Connect the BS-eBridge to the MCU
- Enter to the tuning mode
- Configure the platform communication mode according to the communication package dragged in (the baud rate needs to be configured for the UART)
- Select the BS-eBridge power supply (for the first time using the debug mode, the BS-eBridge firmware needs to be upgraded via clicking on the “Upgrade firmware”)
- Start to debug, communication is successful
- Switch the “Form/EnergyBar” according to the requirement and select the X/Y arrangement
- Analyze the touch waveform, modify the touch parameters and download to the target development board
Trouble Shooting
- Tool is not connected
- Check whether the hardware device has been detected
- Upgrade firmware on the platform
- Tool firmware upgrade is failed
- Connect the USB line to the computer USB slot directly, while not the USB HUB
- Product failed to connect
- Confirm whether the platform specific communication program has been load
- Confirm whether the hardware UART communication pins have been configured correctly
- If the development board is used, it needs to confirm whether the hardware short circuit pin has been configured correctly
Conclusion
The Touch Workshop V4.1 platform can make it simple and efficient to generate a touch project.
It allows users to quickly adjust the touch parameters, efficiently edit the program and also drag in the communication software package for touch debug. In addition, the product touch signals can be digitized to facilitate users to confirm the touch status of the product.
