Adjusting the touch threshold

In this recipe, we will learn how to adjust the sensitivity of the touchpad by changing the threshold value. This is used to decide whether a signal will be treated as a touch event not. This is an important setting to tweak and set to the correct value. If you don't, then a lot of your touch projects won't behave correctly.

Getting ready

You will need access to the REPL on the Circuit Playground Express to run the code presented in this recipe.

How to do it...

Marwan Alsabbagh

Marwan Alsabbagh has been coding in some form or other since before the web existed and has continued to develop software, with a particular passion for Python, his preferred programming language, for over a decade. He has been a speaker at a number of global Python conferences, where he has been known to present microcontroller projects with a healthy dose of humor and stage theatrics. The snow globe intruder alert system, which he created with his creative and curious daughters, was one of his favorite MicroPython projects. His research interests include software engineering, microcontrollers, and 3D printing.
