Quick Start Guide
Touch Solutions

Looking to take your design to the next level?
You have made the right choice in purchasing
the Atmel®QT600 Development Kit. It allows
you to demo Atmel button, slider and wheel
technology and add additional modules/boards.
The kit also to enables you to validate your
own design/board while leveraging the best
touch and microcontroller solutions available.

Download the latest software
To get started, visit http://www.atmel.com/qtouchsuite and download four pieces of software:
• Atmel QTouch Studio®(version 4.3 or later) - Visual Studio + .NET (version 3.5 or later)
• Atmel AVR®Studio (version 4.18 or later) AND ALL Service Packs (SPx)
• Atmel QTouch®Library (version 4.3 or later)
• GNU Compiler – Download at http://sourceforge.net/projects/winavr/files
The photo above shows three sets of boards (sensor board and corresponding microcontroller board):
• QTouch8 with the ATtiny88
• QTouch16 with either the ATXMEGA128A1 or the ATmega324
• QMatrix 8x8 with either the ATXMEGA128A1 or the ATmega324

Atmel QT600 Quick Start Guide
Connect the kit modules
1QTouch8 with ATtiny88
Choose the QTouch8 and the ATtiny88:
1.1 Open the Atmel AVR Studio®
1.2 Select Open in Project Wizard window
1.3 Select C:\Program Files\Atmel\Atmel_QTouch_Libaries_4.3\Generic_QTouch_Libraries\AVR_Tiny_Mega_
XMega\QTouch\ example_projects\QT600_ATtiny88_gnu_qt8
1.4 Connect the 6-conductor ribbon cable from the ISP header on the ATtiny88 board to the ISP/PDI header on the
QT600 Interface board
1.5 Connect the flex cable from the QTouch8 board to the ATtiny88 board
1.6 Connect the USB cable between your PC and the QT600 Interface board (Three LEDs should light up—then hold
the button down for five seconds until the ‘Touch Data’ LED turns off)
1.7 In AVR Studio, click the ‘Con’ button on the top toolbar
1.8 Select QT600 as the Platform and USB as the Port, and then click connect
