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 ...

In the last Sensor Sense we looked at capacitive touch switches used for on/off control. But these switches are also found in capacitive touch sliders that can control various levels, such as volume ...

Capacitive-based touch-sensor switches are gaining popularity for appliance, automotive, and industrial applications for many reasons. They’re aesthetically appealing, flexible, easy to manufacture, ...

Schurter is aiming at easy-clean and sleek-looking surfaces with a ‘capacitive hidden switch’ that can be mounted behind thin non-conductive panel. Called the ‘CHS’ range, they come in three versions: ...
