Adding capacitive sensing to a consumer or industrial product can be a daunting challenge that requires developers to maintain sensor robustness and responsiveness while minimizing current consumption ...
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 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 latest generation of handheld personal consumer electronic devices, with their highly sensitive and intuitive user interfaces based around projected capacitive (p-cap) touchscreens, have begun to ...
Capacitive sensors supply high accuracy at a relatively low cost. But system designers attempting to use them have been forced to first convert the capacitance to a voltage, then convert the voltage ...
• Trapped acoustic resonance is most simply described with an analogy: the ringing of a bell. • Microprocessors control the frequency of the mechanical resonance and monitors its decay. • A thicker ...
