Overview

The CAP1166 is a capacitive touch controller that provides 6 independent touch sensing channels with integrated LED drivers, commonly used in touch button interfaces like the Pimoroni Touch pHAT.

External Component

I created external component based on cap1188

The external component is here: cap1166 and tca9554

It allows for independently controlling all 6 touch buttons and 6 LEDs.
