The DM164125 is a PICDEM touch sense 1 development board and diagnostic tool provide a platform that introduces users to capacitive touch sense technology. An alternative to traditional mechanical push buttons, this system is completely sealed and has no mechanical components that will wear with time. Furthermore, the shape of the buttons is not critical, allowing designers the ability to add aesthetic diversity to their design. Most importantly, microchip offers a royalty free license along with a multitude of resources to aid in the development of your own mTouch applications. The PICDEM Touch Sense 1 development board comes pre programmed with a demonstration application to ease the user into Capacitive Touch Sensing using all of the board"s features. For advanced users comfortable with the core concepts, the two onboard PIC microcontrollers (MCUs) can be reprogrammed using a PICkit 2 programmer.
