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, ...

[HankDavis] sent along this link to a video showing a tutorial on how to make touch sensors using a “darlington pair”. In the video we are taken through the idea and how we’re going to construct it.

A simple AVR microcontroller based circuit that can detect when you touch a metal probe connected to one of the mcu inputs. A simple AVR microcontroller based circuit that can detect when you touch a ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new fabric-based touch sensor used machine learning to control mobile apps, video games and other devices while integrated into clothing. A new study from NC State University combines ...

Apple on Tuesday was granted a patent for an ultrasound-based force and touch sensor that could lead to a thinner, less obstructive 3D Touch mechanism, a structure which was reportedly a barrier to ...
