A simple AVR microcontroller based circuit that can detect when you touch a metal probe connected to one of the mcu inputs. A simple AVR microcontroller based circuit that can detect when you touch a ...

Creating capacitive touch-sensitive buttons is easy these days; many microcontrollers have cap-sense hardware built-in. This will work for simple on/off control, but what if you want a linear, ...

[HankDavis] sent along this link to a video showing a tutorial on how to make touch sensors using a “darlington pair”. In the video we are taken through the idea and how we’re going to construct it.

You can’t have a touch sensitive switch without a way to detect the presence of a finger! A touch sensor, especially a capacitive touch sensor, has some surprisingly sophisticated electronics to ...

In a world increasingly dominated by touchscreens, a London design studio is taking an approach to touch that's both low(er)-tech and innovative at the same time. Bare Conductive raised over ...

Carclo's hopes that 2012 will be a "transformational" year have been boosted by developments relating to a subsidiary operating in the touch sensor sector. The Ossett plastic components manufacturer ...

Fine tuning sensors on prosthetics includes incorporating the sense of touch into a device to be as close to the sensations felt by a natural limb as can be. The two began working together last ...

Ubi’s system can add a touchscreen to nearly any surface, including a tabletop. Touchscreens are naturally intuitive. Hand an iPad to a toddler and they’re quickly swiping at virtual pets or building ...
