This project demonstrates how to use a capacitive touch sensor module with an Arduino Uno. The touch sensor detects touch or proximity, triggering an action in response to the input. Connect the ...

Touch-free user interfaces are the new trend for automotive design engineers. There are multiple ways to implement this feature, and one of them is through proximity sensing. Proximity sensing is a ...

Guest columnist Helen Francis, product marketing manager at Atmel Touch Technology, says that capacitive touch can be used as a proximity sensor In recent years, capacitive touch technology has ...

Designing with high-fidelity capacitive proximity sensors requires careful consideration of mechanical design, sensor placement/design, and end-application operating environments. Careful evaluation ...

Makers and hobbyists that are looking for a capacitive touch sensor for a project, might be interested in a new touch sensor board called the EasyTouch. The EasyTouch capacitive touch sensor can be ...

You can create a release to package software, along with release notes and links to binary files, for other people to use. Learn more about releases in our docs.

Most proximity sensors use an electromagnetic field to sense the presence of a target metal. But there are times when it's necessary to sense nonmetallic materials such as plastics, liquids, or ...

Reliable sensing in an automobile can make a trip that much more enjoyable. Something as simple as a reliable door closure indicator can remove distractions while driving, or better yet, quickly ...

Abstract: Capacitive proximity sensors (CPSs) are ubiquitous because of their simple design, low cost and low consumption. Capacitive displacement sensing, as one of the three sensing modalities, ...
