A touch sensor, especially a capacitive touch sensor, has some surprisingly sophisticated electronics to detect a fingertip. Luckily, little capacitive touch sensor/switch modules are widely available ...

His work is a great example of how to use the Atmel QTouch capacitive sensor (QT100a datasheet). This chip does the heavy lifting that we’ve seen in other touch sensitive solutions.

As a result, user interfaces based on capacitive touch sensing technology are the current trend in UI design. However, designing with capacitive buttons and achieve a robust implementation is often a ...

Many people mistake the growth in capacitive touch sensors as the adoption of new technology. But the fact is advances in mixed-signal programmable devices, those that combine analog and digital ...

April 20, 2011 Texas Instruments just released a product they call the Capacitive Touch Boosterpack which is basically a touch-sensitive shield for the Launchpad.

News facts: New AS8579 capacitive sensor uses novel technique for fool-proof, hands-on detection design Enables sensing placement within the steering-wheel industry’s first completely reliable ...

Capacitive sensing is a contactless-sensing technique with numerous applications, ranging from proximity sensing (Fig. 1), gesture recognition, automotive rain sensors, and remote liquid-level ...
