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 ...

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.

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

The following guide provides a review of the types of proximity sensors for prolonged detection, followed by a look at capacitive sensing design specifically for occupancy-type solutions. A variety of ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

Capacitive sensing is a contactless-sensing technique with numerous applications, ranging from proximity sensing (Fig. 1), gesture recognition, automotive rain sensors, and remote liquid-level sensing ...
