The goal of the capacitive liquid sensor is to measure the change in capacitance or charge between two metal plates depending on the material between them, making it safe to use with any liquid. The ...

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 ...

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 ...

Adding capacitive sensing to a consumer or industrial product can be a daunting challenge that requires developers to maintain sensor robustness and responsiveness while minimizing current consumption ...

Non-contact displacement measurements can be made rapidly and with high precision using capacitive sensors over a modest range. The main features are: Capacitive sensing is a non-contact measurement ...

In many electronics products such as consumer, home appliance, automotive, industrial etc., capacitive touch buttons are fast replacing traditional mechanical buttons. Although capacitive buttons have ...

The Apple iPhone brought the benefits of integrated multi-sensor technology to the masses, and while the application of sensors and their associated algorithms has multiplied and changed the world ...

Tick tracer. Glow meter. Sniffer. They go by many names, but capacitive voltage sensors are all designed to do one thing: detect the presence of voltage in a wire or piece of equipment without ...

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...
