Nice circuit, I'd be interested to know how the chip compares to the Cypress ones CapSense Evaluation Kit - Gloves

Nice work, and nice board.

It shouldn't matter that you got two of the tiny resistors around the worng way ...[View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-7a5581ed-cf28-4ab7-b6ae-f2dce4bcd410/contentimage_5F00_938.png:16:16]

It looks like a very useful device especially since it works through glass.

Hi Frederick,

Nice job!!

I've been meaning to try out Atmel's touch IC for quite some time, but never got around to it. This is a great set of information.

Very well done guide, Frederick!

I am curious of what is the tool you are using for smd soldering and eventually its limits. I have not yet afforded this problem but this remain a problem that in some cases creates very big difficulties.
