Re: Add Gestures and Touch to your Arduino
#2We created this dev-kit to let Arduino projects work with gestures + touch. It came out of the need for a project which required basic hand gestures to work accurately. We tested with proximity and distance-IR sensors but wasn't satisfied with the accuracy and development time required to make it work. We decided to build a dev-kit that uses e-field distortion to detect gestures accurately. We just launched it hoping it might help other hardware hackers looking to add gestures/touch to their projects.

Great input device! Very cool work.

#4Uses GPIO: So not just Arduinos!
I know this mentions it in the description, but I think it could be made more clear. Sincerely, Order #0039

Thanks for the support and you're correct! We're working on getting rpi integration as well.

#7Anyone from the project here care to elaborate on the niceties of this dedicated chip? I'm currently putting finishing touches on a project with a swipe-based (touch, not hover) interface built around the (surely rough-and-dirty, but surprisingly capable) CapacitiveSensor Arduino library.
I'm sure the timing issues one sidesteps by using a dedicated controller ic are critical for projects more complicated than mine, but I'm curious if you know more about the limitations of trying to implement something similar onboard with the AVR. Is there something fundamentally different in the sensing method here compared to low-threshold capacitive sensing?

Any chance you'll release how you built this?

#9Neat. How does the hovering work? Is that also using capacitive sensing?

looks like its basically just the reference implementation of the MGC3130 chip, with an arduino library for i2c communication.
