Way back in 2018 i was playing around with i2c and touch.
I remembered that VGA was using i2c to get information from monitors like brand/type and connection information.
I managed to access the cap1188 up to my Laptop via VGA.
The final python code i used to play with the variables and playing sound i can’t find.
But below is the test code
#!/usr/bin/python
# NOTE: i did a address scan, now i have 3v3 connected to AD, so probably the address is 0x28 !!
import smbus
bus = smbus.SMBus(1) # 0 = /dev/i2c-0 (port I2C0), 1 = /dev/i2c-1 (port I2C1)
DEVICE_ADDRESS = 0x29
DEVICEx = 0x10
DEVICE_REG_MODE1 = 0x00
DEVICE_REG_LEDOUT0 = 0x1d
#Write a single register
bus.write_byte_data(DEVICE_ADDRESS, 0x1f, 0x3F)
#Write an array of registers
#ledout_values = [0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff]
#bus.write_i2c_block_data(DEVICE_ADDRESS, DEVICE_REG_LEDOUT0, ledout_values)
while True:
print bus.read_byte_data(DEVICE_ADDRESS,0x10), bus.read_byte_data(DEVICE_ADDRESS,0x11) , bus.read_byte_data(DEVICE_ADDRESS,0x12), bus.read_byte_data(DEVICE_ADDRESS,0x13), bus.read_byte_data(DEVICE_ADDRESS,0x14), bus.read_byte_dat
a(DEVICE_ADDRESS,0x15), bus.read_byte_data(DEVICE_ADDRESS,0x16), bus.read_byte_data(DEVICE_ADDRESS,0x17)
Today i connected the cap1188 to a ESP32 and a piezo buzzer.
/*** Based on below library ***/
/*** Changed pins and added sound ***/
/***************************************************
This is a library for the CAP1188 I2C/SPI 8-chan Capacitive Sensor
Designed specifically to work with the CAP1188 sensor from Adafruit
----> https://www.adafruit.com/products/1602
These sensors use I2C/SPI to communicate, 2+ pins are required to
interface

ledcWriteTone(TONE_PWM_CHANNEL, freq);
delay(100);
}
}
Serial.println();
delay(50);
}
Finding the right pins or above pinout was the hardest part.
The sketch reads the pins binary so value 129 is first and last bit.
Now i have to get the sound sounding a little better and add frequencies and fingersettings to the sketch to get a minimal electronic bagpipe. (V3 it is .. )
To be continued ..
