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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

3M Touch Systems announces the commercial availability of a new polyester-based projected capacitive touch screen solution. MicroTouch Flex Capacitive Touch Sensors from 3M are ideal for high-volume ...

Renesas introduces ultra-low-power RL78/L23 MCUs with segment LCD displays and capacitive touch for HMI applications in smart ...

Capacitive technology also offers a very high touch resolution that enables pinpoint touch detection and allows sensor activation by low force touch. Recalibration is not required to ensure accurate ...

Capacitive Touch Sensors 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 ...

We're used to tapping away at flat, glass-covered touchscreen devices like smartphones and tablets. A group of Stanford researchers have taken that capacitive touch concept and applied it to a ...
