Capacitive touch sensors are based on the electrical capacitance of the human body. When, for example, a finger comes close to the sensor, it creates a capacitance to Earth with a value of 30 to 100 ...

EBE sensors + motion is expanding its portfolio of capacitive input systems for industrial control concepts with the TCRC.

There are few things more frustrating than being in the middle of working on a project and realizing that you are missing some crucial component that ties the whole thing together. According to Murphy ...

KT Series capacitive touch sensitive sensors are designed to be used as machine start/stop buttons in the industrial automation, mobile and building automation industries. The sensors provide a ...

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, ...

In the last Sensor Sense we looked at capacitive touch switches used for on/off control. But these switches are also found in capacitive touch sliders that can control various levels, such as volume ...

To meet the evolving design needs of the diverse and growing market for biometric access control, world-leading biometrics company Fingerprint Cards AB (Fingerprints™) has expanded its fingerprint ...

A finger-heating effect has been observed on mutual capacitive touch sensors with plastic film overlay. The symptom is exhibited as serious sensitivity degradation when there is a greater than 10°C ...

Apple is examining a shift from a force sensor in AirPods to a capacitive touch system to make a set easier to control, and provide new options. The latest in Apple's surprisingly long history of ...

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 ...
