Even though most of you may be relatively familiar with the various types of mechanical controls, the same does not necessarily apply for capacitive ones. So, let’s start off by defining the most basic elements of capacitive sensing.Capacitive button...

Electrode behavior heavily depends on the material they are made off.To know if emerging materials can potentially be used as electrodes in touch sensors, we must first describe the properties we would want such a material to have.Desired properties ...

Each touch sensor features 2 sets of electrodes: the Transmitting ones (also known as Tx, or the driving electrodes, or simply X electrodes) and the Receiving ones (also known as Rx, or the sensing electrodes or simply Y electrodes).Electrodes are us...

As capacitive sensing undergoing such a rapid growth and penetrating more and more industries, it attracts the interest of many engineers with little to none experience with it.That’s why, we have created this guide and we would like to share it wit...

Designing a touch sensor is not an easy task. The touch sensor front panel you choose is more important than you think.In touch sensor design there is a high level of complexity and many design choices to consider. Complex physical phenomena and cost...
