Microchip Announces New Software Library to Easily Implement Low-power Touch Pads with Surface Gestures

Microchip Technology announced a new 2D Touch Surface library that enables designers to easily implement touch pads using the company’s 8-bit PIC and AVR microcontrollers (MCUs) and 32-bit SAM MCUs. Available free of charge with the purchase of any compatible MCU, the library provides a simplified, low-cost solution for embedded applications, making possible to add taps, swipes, pinch and zoom to headphones and other consumer electronics devices at no additional cost.
