You can’t have a touch sensitive switch without a way to detect the presence of a finger! A touch sensor, especially a capacitive touch sensor, has some surprisingly sophisticated electronics to ...

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 ...

EBE sensors + motion is expanding its portfolio of capacitive input systems for industrial control concepts with the TCRC.

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 into ...

The multi-touch ClearPad 3000 series of capacitive touch sensors brings high-resolution capacitive touchscreens with basic gesture capability to mobile handsets and other handheld devices. With the ...

Makers and hobbyists that are looking for a capacitive touch sensor for a project, might be interested in a new touch sensor board called the EasyTouch. The EasyTouch capacitive touch sensor can be ...

The QST108 is the first in a series of capacitive touch sensors from STMicroelectronics using a pure digital, firmware-based solution that implements the Quantum Research Group's patented ...

KT Series capacitive touch sensitive sensors are designed to be used as machine start/stop buttons in the industrial automation, mobile and building automation industries. The sensors provide a ...

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 ...

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 ...

I am trying to test a capacitive touch sensor. Specifically, I want to show that it registers a specific change in capacitance. Capacitance is defined as: C = A * Eo * Er / d Keeping A, Eo and d ...
