During a visit to the ESC expo in Chicago, I stumbled across Microchip's PIC16F707 microcontroller. The next big thing from Microchip, as they told me. The main feature making this particular uC stand out is the mTouch, projected capacitive touch-screen sensing technology, built right into the chip. And to top that off, you get royalty-free code to use for developing mutitouch interfaces. This chip is currently only supporting 2 simultaneous inputs, but the code also supports gestures. So, this is leaps and bounds over the classic single touch environments of the past. The absolute best part of this whole offering is the price, $0.99 cents in volume, and approximately $3-$5 dollars for small quantities.
Now, what is a good source for capacitive touch panels?
What I want now is a PIC with multitouch and PWM motor driving capabilities.
