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.

Here is another game software you are sure to want on your iPhone. Earl Weaver Baseball or Hardball will soon be available for iPhones, a game that is sure to get a lot of gamers from yesteryears.

Anyone over the age of 30 may fondly remember Earl Weaver Baseball for Amiga, DOS, and the Apple II. I myself had an Apple IIc and split most of my time between Earl Weaver Baseball and Hardball! during my formative elementary school years. Now we’re hearing that one of Earl Weaver Baseball’s original designers, Eddie Dombrower, is porting the game to the iPhone.

The game will be released with a relatively simplistic design at first and, assuming it makes enough money, will be followed by a more advanced version later.
