This is a very simple touch sensor switch that is build with the 555 timer IC. You just need to touch the metal plate and the relay gets energised and is kept in this state for about 100 seconds, then ...

The look and feel of just about every gadget imaginable could be changed by technology supplied by a pair of Chicago-area companies that are promoting a major switch switch. It’s a subtle, but ...

When you look at switching solutions for electronic wearables, your options are limited. With a clever application of conductive fabric and thread, you can cobble together a simple switch, but the ...

You can’t have a touch sensitive switch without a way to detect the presence of a finger! A touch sensor, especially a capacitive touch sensor, has some surprisingly sophisticated electronics to ...

Capacitive-based touch-sensor switches are gaining popularity for appliance, automotive, and industrial applications for many reasons. They’re aesthetically appealing, flexible... Register or sign in ...

[Sebastian] is learning Morse code and CW radio, and of course he needed a telegraph key. Instead of using the terribly unergonomic paddle style key, he built a capacitive touch iambic key over the ...

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have created a new way to turn almost any surface into a touchpad with just a little conductive spray paint. The system, called Electrick, uses a technique ...

Camden Door Controls, a premier provider of door activation and locking devices and one-stop-source for electric strikes, is pleased to introduce to market its CX-WC17VR-PS restroom/privacy system kit ...

Apple is examining a shift from a force sensor in AirPods to a capacitive touch system to make a set easier to control, and provide new options. The latest in Apple's surprisingly long history of ...

A new fabric-based touch sensor used machine learning to control mobile apps, video games and other devices while integrated into clothing. A new study from NC State University combines ...
