- Security keypanels Industrial keyboards Appliance controls Outdoor keypads ATM machines Touch-screens Automotive panels Machine tools glass, plastic, stone, ceramic, and even wood, up to thicknesses of 5 cm or more. Key sizes, shapes and placement are almost entirely arbitrary; sizes and shapes of keys can be mixed within a single panel of keys and can vary by a factor of 20:1 in surface area. The sensitivity of each key can be set individually via simple functions over the SPI or UART port, for example via Quantum’s QmBtn program, or from a host microcontroller. Key setups are stored in an onboard eeprom and do not need to be reloaded with each powerup. The device is designed specifically for appliances, electronic kiosks, security panels, portable instruments, machine tools, or similar products that are subject to environmental influences or even vandalism. It can permit the construction of 100% sealed, watertight control panels that are immune to humidity, temperature, dirt accumulation, or the physical deterioration of the panel surface from abrasion, chemicals, or abuse.
