The EasyTouch capacitive touch sensor can be used with either the Arduino platform or the Raspberry Pi mini PC using the EasyPlug breakout board if required. Watch the video after the jump to ...

Capacitive touch sensors are entirely in the domain of DIY, requiring little more than a carefully-chosen conductive surface ...

Renesas’ RL78/L23 16-bit MCUs provide LCD control and capacitive touch for responsive HMIs in smart appliances, electronics, and meters.

On the software side capacitive touch sensors can be as simple as using an Arduino library for the purpose but [John] rolled his own code, so give it a peek.

Renesas Electronics has introduced the new 16-bit RL78/L23 microcontroller (MCU) group, expanding its low-power RL78 family.

“Interactive Fish Tank” is an installation that explores new, wet boundaries in touch-based interfaces. Developed in 2011 by Manuela Donoso and Crys Moore, Masters candidates at NYU’s ...

It can be used to create sounds in an integrated system or simply develop an instrument using the Arduino. The module will also introduce using MIDI with the Arduino. The presentation material can be ...

Capacitive touch-sensing technology is best known for its use in touchscreens, but one modder used CapSense for a homemade game controller.

A touch sensor, especially a capacitive touch sensor, has some surprisingly sophisticated electronics to detect a fingertip. Luckily, little capacitive touch sensor/switch modules are widely available ...

The MCUs come with SMS (SNOOZE Mode Sequencer), which allows dynamic LCD segment display without CPU intervention. By offloading tasks to the SMS, the devices minimise CPU wake-ups and contribute to ...
