Phidgets
The Touch Wheel Phidget uses capacitive touch technology, similar to the touchscreen on a smartphone. Capacitive touch sensors such as this can detect a touch through a piece of glass or plastic of up to 3mm thick, so you can hide this board inside an enclosure or behind a panel. This Phidget connects to your computer through a VINT Hub.
