Description:
The Touch Wheel Phidget uses capacitive touch technology, similar to the touchscreen on a smartphone. Capacitive touch sensors such as this can detect a touch through a piece of glass or plastic of up to 3mm thick, so you can hide this board inside an enclosure or behind a panel. This Phidget connects to your computer through a VINT Hub. Please select a Phidgets (sensor) cable of your length.
Features:
- Four capacitive touch regions - each region can be assigned a different function in your program
- One scroll wheel pad
- Adjustable sensitivity
- Automatic recalibration if an object is present for
over sixty seconds, preventing regions from being locked by
unintentional objects like dirt or debris.
