Inductive-touch kit includes metal-front panel
A Microchip Technology product story
Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Jan 14, 2010
Microchip Technology has announced the Picdem Inductive Touch Development Kit.
The kit is intended for developing inductive touch-sensing applications using standard 8-, 16- or 32-bit PIC microcontrollers (MCUs), or 16-bit dsPIC Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs).
It includes a fully developed inductive-touch board, complete with embossed metal-front panel, source code, schematics and a diagnostic software tool that enables designers to evaluate their applications.
Inductive-touch sensing's fundamental operating principles enable it to work through a front panel, such as plastic, stainless steel or aluminium, providing a completely sealed user interface that works through gloves and on surfaces that contain liquids.
Major applications for inductive touch-sensing user interfaces include those in the appliance, industrial and automotive markets.
