Archived content is no longer updated and is made available for historical reference only.

This OM11052 board demonstrates the high sensitivity and reliable functionality of the dual channel touch and proximity sensor PCA8886.

The mechanical shape of the board is optimized to fit in a door handle. One sensor is able to detect the approximation of the hand to trigger the unlocking of the door. A second sensor is foreseen to be touched to lock the door upon departure.

This particular shape allows using the board as a starting point in many different applications. The size of the sensors can be easily adapted to reflect your target application.
