Need wider range of vals for proximity using Adafruit_MPR121

Post by dmrieder »

Hi. I'm trying to figure out how to get a wider range of values from the electrodes using Adafruit's MPR121 library. My students have the following breakout board:
https://www.adafruit.com/product/2024

I want my students to be able to use a wider range of threshold vals from the electrodes for create proximity/touch projects in Processing... just not sure how to do it.

Is it related to changing the vals associated w/setThreshholds(uint8_t touch, uint8_t release)? Or is there a function that gives me a broader range of raw vals?

Thank you.

Lol. I think I may have answered my own question... just work with filteredData? Lemme know if there's another or better way to get a broader range of vals. Thanks again!
