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 ...

[mircemk] shows how to create a simple non-contact proximity sensor using little more than an Arduino Nano board, and a convenient software library intended to measure the value of capacitors. The ...

Initially, said DMC, the partnership will focus on producing commercial solutions for manufacturing, logistic centres and factories, using Arduino’s Opta PLC (pictured) and Portenta Machine Controller ...

Computer scientists at Saarland University have developed sensor ‘stickers’ which transform the human body into a multi-touch surface, and can be produced with “little effort”. According to the ...

Microchip has introduced a touch controller family for ‘knob-on-display’ (KoD) human-machine interfaces. These interfaces add a physical ‘clicky’ knob to the front of a display without traditional ...
