Hello everyone, I hope you all are fine and having fun with your lives. Today, I am going to share a new Capacitive Touch Sensor Library for Proteus, which is designed for the first time by our team. :) Capacitive Touch Sensor is used to sense the presence of a human finger on the sensor.
We all know that human carries a charge, which is used by these touch sensors. These sensors are available these days online and you can easily buy them. I have designed its Proteus Library which I am presenting today for free to our readers. I hope you guys are going to enjoy working on it. :) So, let's get started with Capacitive Touch Sensor Library for Proteus:
Capacitive Touch Sensor Library for Proteus
First of all, click on the below button to download Capacitive Touch Sensor Library for Proteus:
When you download the files, you will get three files, named as:
TouchSensorTEP.LIB
TouchSensorTEP.IDX
TouchSensorTEP.HEX
Place all these three files in the library folder of your Proteus software.
Note:
If you are using Proteus 7 Professional, then the library folder link will be something like this: C:Program Files (x86)Labcenter ElectronicsProteus 7 ProfessionalLIBRARY
If you are using Proteus 8 Professional, then the library folder link will be something like this: C:ProgramDataLabcenter ElectronicsProteus 8 ProfessionalDataLIBRARY
Now restart your Proteus software if you have already opened it or start it if it's not open. :P
In the components search box, search for Touch Sensor and place it in your workspace.
If everything goes fine, then you will get a touch sensor as shown in below figure:
Now, the next thing you need to do is to add the functionality to it.
So, double-click this vibration sensor and in the Program file section browse for the TouchSensorTEP.HEX file which we have placed in the library folder of Proteus.
Upload it in the Program file section and now you are ready to use this sensor.
Let's test this sensor out.
So, design a simple circuit diagram as shown in the below figure:
Because it's a simulation and we can't actually touch the sensor so that's why I have placed a TestPin.
When this TestPin is HIGH, it means that your sensor is sensing the touch and when it's LOW, it means that there's no touch.
So, now let's run this simulation and see what happens:
So, that's how this Capacitive Touch Sensor Library for Proteus works.
When you make the TestPin Low then it means there's no touch detected by the sensor and it will give LOW at the output.
Similarly when TestPin goes HIHG then it means there's a touch and the sensor will give HIGH at the OUT Pin.
Here's a video in which I have explained in detail How to use this Capacitive Touch Sensor Library for Proteus.
That's all for today. I hope you guys are gonna enjoy this Capacitive Touch Sensor Library for Proteus. Will meet you guys in the next tutorial. Till then take care and have fun !!! :)
