Capacitive Touch with Atmel’s AT42QT1070 Touch Sensor IC

Capacitive Touch with Atmel’s AT42QT1070 Touch Sensor IC

Rather than using an out-of-the-box capacitive touch solution for my projects, I thought I’d attempt making my own little breakout board. The idea is to use a sensor capable of triggering normal digital input pins using touch. This post covers the selected touch sensor IC, the circuit used, getting a custom PCB made and how …

Ultrasonic range finder

Ultrasonic range-finder with haptic feedback using atmega

Introduction “An ultrasonic range-finding hat with variable haptic feedback for obstacle detection.” -Project Sound Bite For our ECE 4760 final project, we designed and implemented an ultrasonic range-finding hat that uses haptic feedback to alert its wearer about obstacles in his or her path. The hat is equipped with an ultrasonic transmitter/receiver circuit, which is capable of …
