The CY3280-MBR3 CapSense MBR3 kit can be used to evaluate the third generation of Cypress Semiconductor’s capacitive-sensing technology. Likely applications are button designs and proximity sensing ..

[mircemk] shows how to create a simple non-contact proximity sensor using little more than an Arduino Nano board, and a convenient software library intended to measure the value of capacitors.

Capacitive sensing libraries for the Arduino and just about every other ... and the radial touch sensor will emulate the ‘wheel’ interface on an iPod. Very cool stuff, and we can’t wait ...
