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 ...

Atmel's XSense technology made its debut way back in April of 2012, but today ASUS became the first big name gadget maker to commit to using the tech -- pledging to put it in an unnamed next-gen ...

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 ...

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new calibration algorithm for technology that turns common materials into touch sensors. HumTouch detects the current ...

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, ...
