EP&DEE is offering readers the chance to win a Microchip enhanced mTouch™ Capacitive Touch Evaluation Kit. The enhanced mTouch Capacitive Evaluation Kit (P/N DM183026-2) provides a simple platform for developing a variety of capacitive touch sense applications using PIC16F, PIC24F, PIC18F and PIC32 microcontrollers. The Diagnostic Tool provided allows the user to analyze application-critical information in real-time as it relates to touch sensor behaviour.
The enhanced mTouch Capacitive Touch Evaluation Kit includes a new board for development with the PIC32. It comes equipped with capacitive touch-sensing keys and sliders, which allows designers to evaluate this interface in their applications using the Windows® OS-based mTouch Diagnostic Tool. This software tool provides an easy-to-use Graphical User Interface (GUI) for developing cap-touch buttons and sliders, and is included in the free MPLAB® Integrated Development Environment. The additional software libraries, source code and other support materials that come with the board further shorten development cycles and reduce design costs.
The enhanced kit now contains 4 motherboards featuring PIC16F1937, PIC18F46J50, PIC24FJ64GB106 and PIC32MX795F512H microcontrollers. It also contains four sensor daughter boards consisting of a Direct 8-Key Board, 12-Key Matrix Sensor Board, 4-channel Slider Sensor Board and 2-Channel Slider Sensor Board. Also included in the kit is a PICkit Serial Analyzer and USB cable.
