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

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 ...

In touch: John Madden (left) and Mirza Saquib Sarwar with their sensor. (Courtesy: UBC) A flexible touch sensor that can distinguish between being touched and being stretched has been developed by ...

Inexpensive silicon rubber composites used to make robotic skin host an insulating layer which prevents direct electrical contact, making accurate and repeatable measurements virtually impossible. Low ...

In Part I of this series, we explored the differences between user interfaces based on mechanical buttons and those utilizing capacitive touch sensors. In Step 1 we discussed the look and feel of a ...

A new low-power capacitive sensor could make it easier forengineers to employ touch-pad interfaces on products ranging from cell phonesto garage door openers. Known as the MPR121 ultra-low power ...

The touch sensors on smartphones and tablet computers allow people to sling angry birds across the screen or scroll through pages of cat pictures with a gentle finger swipe. To detect a user’s touch, ...
