Microchip has introduced a touch controller family for ‘knob-on-display’ (KoD) human-machine interfaces. These interfaces add a physical ‘clicky’ knob to the front of a display without traditional ...

Rotary potentiometers, switches, and encoders all share a basic design: adjustment is done via a shaft onto which a knob is attached, and knobs are sold separately. That doesn’t mean one knob fits all ...

Sometimes, all the buttons you have at your disposal to control a computer fall short of the convenience a twirly little knob can offer. They're often relegated to media volume control on a DAC or an ...

Knobs are ubiquitous in technology user interfaces, but touchscreens are increasingly replacing them for interface controls. The latest project from [upir] combines a rotating knob with a touchscreen ...

Microchip Technology has unveiled the maXTouch Knob on Display (KoD) controller as the first automotive-grade touchscreen controller family to natively support the detection and reporting of ...

Integrating touchscreen and rotary-knob control into a single IC simplifies combining these two different but complementary user-input devices. Touchscreens and touchpads haven’t totally taken over ...

An inductive sensing based incremental encoder knob design can provide a robust and low-cost interface for control inputs. It can reliably operate in environments which have dirt, moisture, or oil ...
