Abstract | Entry

LIN Touch-Switch & LED Display

This project presents an interesting method for touch switches that don’t require additional hardware (except for a small capacitor and some PCB area). This method requires two free I/O pins on the microcomputer for each switch. A test module built on the Microchip PIC24 Starter Board is used to test the display module. You use the touch switch to indicate information to the master. Data is transferred using LIN.
