Capacitive sensors work by using the human body as one of the capacitive plates of an electrical circuit. A leader in low power capacitance touch sensors, NXP offers a range of auto calibrating ...

Capacitive sensing libraries for the Arduino and just about every other microcontroller platform have been around for ages now, but if you’d like to put a slightly complex cap sense pad in a PCB ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Imagine that you have a great idea for a product that includes a plastic injection-molded case or a glass panel, and you would like to explore the possibility of replacing the mechanical buttons with ...

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 ...

The Capacitive Touch Sensor (CTS) is a gesture sensitive functional textile touch-pad interface for physical devices. The CTS is produced as a single piece of fabric requiring only two electrodes to ...

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 ...
