The mTouch software provides a free and easy way to add a touch-sensing user interface to applications using PIC microcontrollers. The free kit is available for download from the Microchip Touch Sensing Design Center at www.microchip.com/mtouch and provides full access to its source code, so designers can customize the algorithms and easily integrate them into an application, such as medical manufacture equipment.

Microchip Technology’s fullsource-code solution lets design engineers integrate touch sensing with their existing application code in a single microcontroller, thereby reducing the total system cost.
