Capacitive sensing offers developers a new way to interact with users that overcome the traditional problems associated with mechanical levels or push button switches that engage a solenoid controlled ...

Charge transfer minimizes sense-plate count. Evaluation kits speed robustness and ease-of-use assessment. While electronics engineers struggle to embed more functions into ever-shrinking size and ...

The sensors provide a reliable alternative to mechanical switches that may have a high rate of wear and tear. The sensors use capacitive technology for start and stop actuation, and are available with ...

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 ...

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, ...

This article provides an overview of capacitive touchscreen technology and describes the challenges inherent in implementing this technology in handheld devices. Ever since Apple launched the iPhone ...
