&lt;p&gt;There is only a single SAADC even though it has 8 channels, and it can either sample all channels in a row (scan) or single channels. I do not know the details of your application, but unless you have a strong reason for not doing so and want to put more effort into it, I suggest you either handle the capsensing or do saadc sensor readings. Something like the following:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Initialize SAADC driver for sensor sampling&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sample sensors&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Disable SAADC driver&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Initialize capsense library&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Do capasitive sensing for as long as needed or until nex sensor sampling&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Uninitialized capsense library&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;jump to 1.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you sample sensors not very often and/or sampling takes a short time, then you may not actually notice any issues with capsense not being active all the time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
