Capacitive Trackpad/Touchpad - Microcontroller-Friendly PS/2

Enhance your project with a sleek touch interface using this microcontroller-friendly trackpad. We've sourced an easy-to-use PS/2 trackpad that offers seamless interfacing. This two-in-one device has two modes. In relative'mouse mode', it tracks finger movements as they occur. In 'tablet mode', it provides the exact X and Y coordinates of the touched point. It also gives Z coordinates for the pressure applied and a flag to indicate if a finger is on or off the pad. While it doesn't support multitouch, it does recognize basic gestures like 'tap' and 'double tap' on the touchpad area. There are two tactile buttons, just like those on a mouse. This trackpad makes a great interface for lighting controllers, music devices, or shape drawing. Thanks to its capacitive design, you can cover it with a paper or plastic label and it will still function perfectly. And don't worry, we've made it super easy to use with our Arduino library. Simply connect it to any two digital pins using a PS/2 breakout adapter cable and run our example code.

Using this trackpad is a breeze. First, connect it to any two digital pins on your device with a PS/2 breakout adapter cable. Then, run the provided example code from our Arduino library. In'mouse mode', move your finger on the pad to control the cursor. In 'tablet mode', it gives you the exact position of your touch. The two tactile buttons work just like a regular mouse. Remember, this trackpad doesn't support multitouch. It can recognize basic gestures like 'tap' and 'double tap'. You can cover the pad with a paper or plastic label as it's capacitive and will still work fine. To keep it in good condition, clean it gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials on the touchpad surface.
