In Part I of this series, we explored the differences between user interfaces based on mechanical buttons and those utilizing capacitive touch sensors. In Step 1 we discussed the look and feel of a ...

Buttons are found in many end products, including consumer products, home appliances, automotive and industrial systems. Today’s technical savvy consumers want products with reliable and sleek user ...

Creating capacitive touch-sensitive buttons is easy these days; many microcontrollers have cap-sense hardware built-in. This will work for simple on/off control, but what if you want a linear, ...

The Capacitive Touch Sensor (CTS) is a gesture sensitive functional textile touch-pad interface for physical devices. The CTS is produced as a single piece of fabric requiring only two electrodes to ...

The global capacitive sensors market is witnessing significant expansion, driven by the increasing adoption of multi-touch capacitive sensing technology in consumer electronics, automotive, and ...

Capacitive touch sensors are entirely in the domain of DIY, requiring little more than a carefully-chosen conductive surface and a microcontroller. This led [John Phillips] to ask why not embed such ...

Apple is examining a shift from a force sensor in AirPods to a capacitive touch system to make a set easier to control, and provide new options. The latest in Apple's surprisingly long history of ...
