Capacitive sensing provides a robust alternative to traditional mechanical switches. However, some applications cannot accommodate the physical implementation of a printed circuit board directly under ...

When [Daniel Eichhorn] designed the Pendrive S3 project, he wanted to use an off-the-shelf USB enclosure but also add a button for the user to start certain actions. Drilling a hole into the enclosure ...

Touch sensors have been around for years, but recent advances in mixed signal programmable devices are making capacitance-based touch sensors a practical and value-added alternative to mechanical ...

Capacitive sensing is a contactless-sensing technique with numerous applications, ranging from proximity sensing (Fig. 1), gesture recognition, automotive rain sensors, and remote liquid-level sensing ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Capacitive sensors are common in today’s consumer electronics, since they are used in many touchscreen applications. Most of the ...

Capacitive touch buttons are a great way to turn just about any (non-conductive) surface into a button, but people generally dislike the lack of tactile feedback. [KontinuumLab] apparently agreed and ...
