from http://www.elektor.com/news/new-mikroc-pro-for-pic-2009.929884.lynkx?referer=rssBelgrade-based MikroElektronika have recently launched a new C compiler for PIC® microcontrollers: mikroC PRO for PIC 2009. The IDE features project-based design and supports an impressive range of PIC microcontrollers. mikroC PRO for PIC 2009 offers a set of libraries which simplify the initialization and use of PIC MCU and its modules including libraries for ADC, CAN, CANSPI, Compact Flash, EEPROM, Ethernet, Flash Memory, Graphic LCD, I²C, Keypad, LCD, Manchester Code, MMC/SD Card, OneWire, Port Expander, PrintOut, PS/2, PWM, RS-485, Sound, SPI, Graphic LCD, UART, USB HID, Standard ANSI C, T6963C GLCD, Miscellaneous, SPI and more … MicroC PRO for PIC also has plenty of practical examples and a comprehensive set of documentation which allows a quick start in programming PIC devices. PIC hardware development tools that completely support mikroC PRO for PIC 2009 are also available. A fully functional demonstration version (hex output is limited to 2k of program words) is available on the mikroElektronika website.More info mikroelektronika website

The functional characteristics of Capacitive mTouch Sensing Solution along with basic touch sensor construction will be reviewed in the first half of this web seminar. The primary focus here is to provide some basic design guidelines relating to touch sensor pad size, placement, cover plate material selection and mounting recommendations. In the second half, there will be an overview of the fundamental components of an Inductive mTouch system. It will also introduce the inductive touch sensor detailing both construction and operational characteristics. Inductive touch sensing technologies can make up for some deficiencies of capacitive touch sensing solution. For instance, there can be more choices of panel material, the keys are unaffected by water droplet, humidity or liquids; and the technology can sense through thick gloves.
