| Qtouch on Microchip |
| (1/1) |

Hi, now that microchip has acquired Atmel, are there any Microchip micros that use any of the Microship "classic architecture" (8, 16 or 32 bits) which also have Qtouch? I want to implement touch controls but want to stick to the Microchip micros and I don't particularly want to use external Qtouch ICs. Any suggestions? Thank you :) |
| dmendesf:
Microchip PICs usually have 2 types of hardware for capacitive sensing: CVD and CTMU. They're older than Microchip's Atmel aquisition, so not the same technology. I'm unaware of any later PIC with a different hardware for touch sensing. |

Thank you Dmendesf, from memory they need a metal plate and they measure the microscopic displacement of the metal plate (inductive and/or capacitive) is that correct? Thank you :) |
| dmendesf:
No, they can also measure self capacitance and mutual capacitance as qTouch. Just maybe without the same fancy tools to trim the results. |
