Reading a MatrixArray

Multi-touch force & position sensing with Arduino

Part 7: Results of Optimization

Time for the moment of truth... Were we able to improve that lackluster 17Hz scan rate?

Let's take another look on the scope, using the same time/div settings as last time:


Success!

Framing a single scan cycle with the cursors, we observe that a typical scan now completes in 3.5msec - a 285Hz update rate. Not bad!

Now that we're up to a more usable speed, let's finish by adding some graphic feedback on the PC end.
