Abstract
A fault reset system for an appliance is provided. The fault reset system includes a controller comprising a sensing circuit, the sensing circuit configured to determine one or more sensor values associated with one or more capacitive touch sensors of the appliance. The fault reset system further includes a reset circuit configured to reset the sensing circuit based on a reset signal provided by the controller. The reset circuit is configured to reset the sensing circuit by power cycling the controller.
Claims20
A fault reset system for an appliance, comprising:
- a controller comprising a sensing circuit, the sensing circuit configured to determine one or more sensor values associated with one or more capacitive touch sensors of the appliance;
- and
- a reset circuit configured to reset the sensing circuit based on a reset signal provided by the controller,
- wherein the reset circuit is configured to reset the sensing circuit by power cycling the controller.
A method for resetting a controller in an appliance, comprising:
- determining, by a sensing circuit of the controller, one or more sensor values associated with one or more capacitive touch sensors of the appliance;
- providing a reset signal based at least in part on a fault state of the sensing circuit;
- and
- resetting the sensing circuit based at least in part on the reset signal,
- wherein resetting the sensing circuit includes power cycling the controller.
An appliance, comprising:
- one or more capacitive touch sensors configured to provide one or more sensor signals;
- and
- a fault reset system, comprising:
- a controller comprising a sensing circuit, the sensing circuit configured to determine one or more sensor values associated with the one or more capacitive touch sensors based on the one or more sensor signals;
- and
- a reset circuit configured to reset the sensing circuit based on a reset signal provided by the controller,
- wherein the reset circuit is configured to reset the sensing circuit by power cycling the controller.
