Inductive-touch kit includes metal-front panel
Microchip Technology
Picdem Inductive Touch Development Kit
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.
