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 ...

The unbridled success of touch-enabled user interfaces in products such as smartphones, MP3 players, desk top monitors, and tablet computers over the last few years has been driven by the all-round ...

Capacitive sensors are found in a wide range of equipment, from consumer electronics to industrial/process control. Touch buttons are increasingly found in lamps and dimmers. Motion detectors can ...

Infineon has augmented touch sensing and liquid level sensing it a new series of MCUs. Devices in the 4000T family have hardware and software to implement: enhanced capacitive touch sensing, inductive ...

Freescale Semiconductor has announced the industry's first solution to combine gesture recognition, on resistive screen technology and capacitive touch sensing in a single integrated circuit.

Infineon has introduced automotive microcontrollers with capacitive touch sensing for sensor and actuator applications. The PSOC 4 HVMS family is built around a 24 or 48MHz Arm Cortex-M0+ processor, ...
