The sensing field must change from the electromagnetic domain to the electrostatic domain; the inductive proximity sensor must become capacitive. Capacitive proximity sensors detect a wide variety ...

[James Eckert] got his hands on a Freescale MPR121 capacitive touch sensor. The chip in question speaks I2C and senses up to twelve simultaneous capacitive sense electrodes; break-out boards are ...

The project's called Botanicus Interacticus, and centers around a custom-built capacitive sensor module, which pipes a very low current through an otherwise ordinary plant, then senses when and ...

(loadstarsensors.com), use a capacitive sensing scheme in their CS Series sensors. They also combine the signal conditioner and sensor in a package that measures 0.89-in. thick and has a 2.5-in.

This is not that first time a capacitive sensing yarn has been constructed, but this “yarn is considerably more sensitive to minimal movements. Stretching it even a little produces distinctly ...
