USER GUIDE
Preface
Atmel QT5 Xplained Pro kit is an extension board that enables the
evaluation of mutual-capacitance touch using the Peripheral Touch
Controller (PTC) module. The kit shows how easy it is to design a nice
looking capacitive touch user interface for the PTC. The kit includes one
®
board with a curved QTouch mutual-capacitance slider and two QTouch
mutual-capacitance buttons. In addition it has 16 LEDs arranged as two 7-
segment digits separated with a colon.

Kit Overview
Atmel QT5 Xplained Pro extension is designed specifically for Xplained Pro MCU boards featuring an
MCU with a built-in peripheral touch controller.
The extension board can be used to explore the touch functions on the PTC module in mutual-
capacitance mode.

Kit Compatibility
This kit is only supported by Xplained Pro MCU boards that have an MCU with a built-in PTC and a
matching pinout that connects all sensors of the extension. There is no guarantee that every Xplained Pro
MCU board with a device that has PTC will manage to match the touch signal pinout to the extension
headers.
Currently supported MCU boards are:

Getting Started
Xplained Pro Quick Start
Three steps to start exploring the Atmel Xplained Pro platform:
1. Download
Atmel Studio.
2. Launch Atmel Studio.
3. Connect QT5 Xplained Pro to an Xplained Pro MCU board and connect a USB cable to the DEBUG
USB port on the Xplained Pro MCU board.
When the Xplained Pro MCU kit is connected to your computer for the first time, the operating system will
®
perform a driver software installation. The driver file supports both 32- and 64-bit versions of Microsoft
®
®
Windows XP, Windows Vista , Windows 7, and Windows 8.
Once the Xplained Pro MCU board is powered the green power LED will be lit and Atmel Studio will auto
detect which Xplained Pro MCU- and extension board(s) are connected. Atmel Studio will present
relevant information like datasheets and kit documentation. The kit landing page in Atmel Studio also has
the option to launch Atmel Software Framework (ASF) example applications for the kit. The target device
is programmed and debugged by the on-board Embedded Debugger and therefore no external
programmer or debugger tool is needed.
