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

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, ...

During the last two months, announcements of new touch sensors and touch-sensor capabilities have arrived from Silicon Labs, Freescale, and Atmel. But the technologies differ and give engineers a ...

Capacitive touch sensors have made homes i n scores of MP3 players and mobile phones. Of course, the mobile arena is no longer the only bastion for these devices. Today, sensor technology has ...

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 ...

With the introduction of the first smartphones in 2012 with in-cell touch displays, a battle is emerging between the traditional supply chain of ITO-based touch sensors that are externally combined ...

Three recent events have changed the complexion of embedded systems design in fundamental ways, opening up significant opportunities – and challenges – to the prepared developer and engineer as it ...

[CNLohr] has been tinkering with some fun parts of late. He’d found out that ordinary LCD screens could be used as simple touch sensors, and he had to try it for himself. He ended up building a little ...
