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

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 ...

Capacitive touch sensors are fast becoming an integral part of many electronic goods these days. Made popular by products like the Apple iPod adopting it, capacitive sensors have now become the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Expanding the B6TS capacitive touch-sensing IC family are eight- and 16-channel LF versions that promise significant reductions in development time. The devices measure floating capacitance through ...

With so many cell phones, PDAs, and MP3 players using touch-sensitive keypads, wheels, and screens for user input, regular mechanical pushbuttons are beginning to seem outdated. Even so, mechanical ...

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 ...

In touch: John Madden (left) and Mirza Saquib Sarwar with their sensor. (Courtesy: UBC) A flexible touch sensor that can distinguish between being touched and being stretched has been developed by ...

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 ...
