Microchip Introduces its First Turnkey Touch Controllers for Buttons, Sliders and Wheels with Parallel Sensing Microchip Introduces its First Turnkey Touch Controllers for Buttons, Sliders and Wheels with Parallel Sensing

As appliance and equipment manufacturers look for ways to reduce system costs, many are replacing displays with Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) using high-end decoration and illuminated capacitive-touch buttons, sliders and wheels. These interfaces often require a large number of touch sensors which can increase acquisition time and reduce the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) when using…

Voice Activated LED Controller with Touch Interface Using ESP32S3 Box 3 Voice Activated LED Controller with Touch Interface Using ESP32S3 Box 3

Voice control has become an integral part of modern smart home automation. In this tutorial, we build a voice-controlled LED system using the ESP32-S3-BOX-3 development board, combining wake word detection, speech recognition, touch interface, and audio feedback to create an intelligent control system. The code will be based on the factory example provided by…

Speechless Home Automation with ESP32-S3 Box 3 Speechless Home Automation with ESP32-S3 Box 3

By Arun Kumar

Human–machine interaction today is heavily centered around speech.

Voice assistants, smart speakers, and voice-controlled home automation systems assume that the user can speak clearly and consistently.

However, this assumption excludes an important group of users:

People with speech impairments Individuals who are temporarily unable to speak Users with…
Finger MIDI Piano using Raspberry Pi Pico Turning a Kimbala into a MIDI Finger Piano with a Raspberry Pi Pico

Jermy Cook, a popular maker known for his audio projects and custom built MIDI Instruments has recently shown an easy way to build a Finger MIDI Piano using a Raspberry Pi Pico. His video demonstrates how to transform a finger piano into a MIDI instrument using a Raspberry Pi Pico. The project leverages capacitive touch sensing to detect when a key is pressed. With…

Touch Sensitive Color Changing Plants using Arduino and RGB LEDs Touch Sensitive Color Changing Plants using Arduino and RGB LEDs

In this article, we will learn how to build a touch-based color-changing plant using Arduino. When you touch the plant, the color of the plant vase will automatically change. This is a nice indoor decorative project and also a small hobby project for beginners to build and learn some interesting stuff. Previously we have also built a touch-based music player using Arduino,…

FingerTip FTG2-SLP Touchscreen Controller Capacitive Multi-Touch Screen Controller Based on Arm Cortex-M4 Core supports New-Generation AMOLED Energy-Saving Displays

STMicroelectronics has introduced the new FingerTip FTG2-SLP touchscreen controller that supports both synchronous and asynchronous display operations which gives the OEMs the ability to maintain seamless user interactions as the refresh rate changes dynamically. This new controller is also ideal for smartphones with flexible AMOLED displays that…

Arduino based Touch Capacitive Piano PCB Design and Build an Arduino Based Touch Capacitive Piano with Recording and Replay

Hello! everyone, this tutorial will be extremely exciting for electronics makers because we will be designing our own touch-capacitive Piano with Arduino Nano. We will include a recording and replay feature on our Piano. So far, we've made a few piano projects using Arduino, but this one is quite different because we are going to use capacitive touch keys for our piano…

Raspberry Pi based Jarvis themed Speaking Alarm Clock Raspberry Pi Based Jarvis themed Speaking Alarm Clock

“Good morning. It’s 7:00 a.m. The weather in Malibu is 72 degrees with scattered clouds. The surf conditions are fair with waist-to-shoulder high lines. High tide will be at 10:52 a.m”. Every time I hear this voice of Jarvis in the movie Iron Man it sends me chills down my spine. I am sure just like me many would have dreamt of living a life as sophisticated as Tony Stark.…

ESP32 Touch Sensor using Capacitive Touch Boards Build Your Own Capacitive Touch Sensor to Control Home Appliance using ESP32

In many cases,  ESP32 capacitive touch sensors are used instead of push buttons. The advantage is that we don't have to provide force to press a button, and we can activate a key without touching it using touch sensors. Touch-sensing technology is becoming popular day by day. And within the last decade or so, it has become difficult to imagine the world without touch-…

Interfacing HDMI Touchscreen Display with Raspberry Pi Interfacing 5 inch HDMI Touchscreen Display with Raspberry Pi

Raspberry pi is a compact credit card sized computer, which is very popular nowadays for IoT applications and high computational applications like data science, python, machine learning, etc. Many applications need external displays to be connected with Raspberry Pi. In that case, raspberry pi has its own HDMI interface to connect external displays like TV or monitors.…
