Liquid-level sensing based on capacitive sensors comes with its own challenges. It’s like absolute capacitance sensing. Unlike touch detection, the absolute value of the liquid level needs to be ...

Capacitive sensors are typically cost-effective and deliver low-power performance features aligned with today’s trends for consumer and industrial applications. Capacitive sensors are cost effective ...

Capacitive sensing is a contactless-sensing technique with numerous applications, ranging from proximity sensing (Fig. 1), gesture recognition, automotive rain sensors, and remote liquid-level sensing ...

Capacitive sensor interfaces are critical to the accurate measurement of physical parameters such as pressure, humidity, and force across a broad range of applications including biomedical devices, ...

Most proximity sensors use an electromagnetic field to sense the presence of a target metal. But there are times when it's necessary to sense nonmetallic materials such as plastics, liquids, or ...

If you’ve got a smart home, or you just want to know how soaked your garden is getting in the winter, you might want to measure rainfall. There are a bunch of ways to go about it, and this capacitive ...

Sponsored by IDT: Thanks to the advances made in inductive position sensing, the technology is carving new paths in automotive design and leaving its optical and capacitive cousins in the dust.

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 ...
