They certainly must be cheaper - no mechanical components, just a single wire (instead of two) connecting the pad to the micro-controller. And they are "fancy"/"futuristic".
My lab placed fancy touch-screens in the place of the light switches. Now turning the lights on or off takes at least 15 seconds but we get to pretend to be luxurious :(

- ballenf 9y agoDo they work with gloves? Why not just a motion sensor with a manual override?
- blackguardx 9y agoSwitches are usually connected to digital inputs with one wire as well. The other wire is connected to either power or ground. The wire to the microcontroller is either pulled up or down with a resistor to power or ground, respecively.
- krastanov 9y agoYes, but capsense does not require that power/ground wire.
