DESCRIPTION
Touch control is replacing physical buttons, sliders, and wheels as the means for a human-machine interface (HMI). Some advantages to touch screen control is that it is both and input and output (saving separate keyboard and mouse for computer applications) and it has no moving parts making it less susceptible to mechanical stress and dust.
This course provides an introduction to capacitive touch technology, including theory and the use of a touch control evaluation kit. Content includes:
What is capacitive touch control?
History of the technology and applications
The basics of a capacitor
Current capacitive touch technologies
Control interface
Physical design
Screen materials
Evaluation kit demonstration
PREREQUISITES
None
INTENDED AUDIENCE
The primary audience is engineers who need to design a touch control interface for their system or just want to learn more about the technology.
ESTIMATED TIME
30 min.
