28 Apr 09 mTouch Capacitive Touch Evaluation Kit Released
Since we are in the age of touch screens, here is another one that can be put to good use. Microchip Technologies announces a new solution that will allow designers to quickly and easily develop capacitive touch user-interface applications using Microchip’s 8- and 16-bit PIC microcontrollers (MCUs).
The flexible, comprehensive kit includes two main boards—one populated with a PIC16F72X 8-bit MCU and the other with a PIC24F256GB110 16-bit MCU; four daughter boards for developing capacitive-touch keys, sliders and a matrix; a PICkit™ Serial Analyzer; an easy-to-use Graphical User Interface (GUI); and several code and schematic examples. The modular kit makes it easy for designers to try different keypad configurations, and experiment with touch-pad sizes and shapes using the mother boards.
The mTouch Capacitive Touch Evaluation Kit (part # DM183026) is available for $84.95.
