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 ...

Human-machine interfaces (HMI) are undergoing a seismic change now that a new approach is available for designing button panels. Inductive-sensing technology is becoming the preferred method when ...

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 ...
