I'm designing an industrial controller and prospective touchscreen manufacturers keep trying to push Capacitive touchscreens instead of Resistive. They claim new Capacitive touchscreens are capable of being used with thick gloves. However, my understanding is that Resistive touch screens are the only way to go for robust industrial products.

Has anyone used a Capacitive touchscreen in an industrial product where users wear different types of gloves and the environment can be dirty? How has it worked out for you?

I have a relatively low end Pioneer double din deck that came with a resistive rather than capacitive screen. I was a little disappointed by this when I bought it but it was only about $250. Now that it’s winter I’m actually loving the fact because my screen works with my gloves on! So nice to be able to make selections without having to remove a glove every time 😎

I'm really disappointed in the glare of my new Pioneer AVH-W4400NEX. Like . . . it's borderline unusable in the sun. Is the glare any better on capacitive touchscreens, specifically the Kenwood DDX9905S? I was partial to the Pioneer because of the additional features like wireless CarPlay, AutoEQ, Miracast, etc., but if the screen is substantially better with fingerprints and glare, I might consider switching.

Is there a benefit of using a resistive touchscreen in 3D modeling? The touchscreen is capable of 1 touch, it is the screen of a Panasonic Laptop.

One thing Nintendo really has going for it is the inclusion of touch controls.

Most of us do know the difference between the two main types of touchscreens, capacitive and resistive touchscreens. There are a couple pros and cons about having one or the other. For example:

• Resistive touchscreens are more accurate due to being used with a stylus, making them more pin-point than capacitive touchscreens, but they can only focus on one specific point.

• Capacitive touchscreens can focus on multiple points, but are used mainly by fingertips, making them less accurate than resistive touchscreens in a way.

(Capacitive touchscreens can use stylus', but the majority of those need to be a certain size, still making them less pin-point than a plastic pen stylus. For it to be thin enough, it needs electronics and those might be expensive to mass produce, similar to the S Pen)

We've been using resistive touchscreens since the DS and it works well enough. Do you think Nintendo is/already made the switch to capacitive for the NX IF the NX does get a touchscreen of some sort?

What are you hoping for? What would disappoint you?

Why don't cars use regular touchscreens like we do in phones and why do they lag so much like when I drag the screen to move a map or they are just not really responsive at times?

Hello there!

I got an issue with my Lcd screen, I can use any other screen like my pc screen with hdmi but this little screen. I guess its over heating or the cpu gets too much work I am not sure. It worked just fine 4 months ago , ever since i planed to remove the not used pixel border and play on the driver I kinda messed it up I think. I belive I am out of options so I seek for Help.

Here's the link to the item: https://www.amazon.de/Kuman-Resistive-800x480-Display-Raspberry/dp/B01F3JI58G/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1517343180&sr=1-1&keywords=kuman+5+inch+display

If you have the same item or more expierence than me you're welcome to tell me what I can do to fix this. Critisim Welcome!

(add: This screen is for an Pair of nightvision goggles i want to build)

I'm noticing all the smaller touchscreens available are resistive, I remember several ultra crappy touchscreens I have seen years ago that were resistive, vs the nice familiar capacitive type ones, like the one I am typing on now.

How bad are the resistive ones available for the Pi? I'm really wishing right now that I could find a capacitive 5" screen, but maybe I'm just being paranoid?

     Given how much people have been wondering about whether or not the Nintendo Switch will have a touchscreen — it probably will, but docking hiding the screen does cause some issues —, I began to wonder…: what are the chances that hybrid resistive/capacitive touchscreen technology is far along enough that it Nintendo might consider it mature enough for inclusion in its next console? When I last checked on the tech's status over a year ago while thinking about future console possibilities, there were only a couple of patents floating around concerning the concept. That being said, use of such a screen would make wondering which half, if any, of such a hybrid touch display — that is, one of the two digitizer types it subsumes — an entirely moot point, don't you agree?

I am working with a 4 wire resistive touchscreen and I have written code to read how far I move my stylus from the bottom edge of the screen. I am using a switch statement to define the different intervals on the screen (it reads a new interval every 0.05 inch). So as I move up from the bottom it increases in 0.05 inch intervals like a ruler.

The problem is when I display the location on the serial monitor, it is a continuous feed of data (serial monitor baud is 38400). I would like to be able to scan continuously for touches like I am doing currently, but have the monitor only display when there is a touch on the screen.

Any idea how I can configure it to read single touches? Appreciate the help!

I have this nagging feeling that I could buy a four-wire or five-wire transparent resistive touchscreen from China or eBay or something, and use spray adhesive to attach it to one of these 15" or 17" flatscreens I see lying around unloved at the thrift stores.

Can anyone direct me toward a link where someone has done just this?

Which type of touch screen would be best for a monitor for graphic design and other artsy stuff?

Sorry if this isn't the right sub for this, but I've been searching and can't seem to find anything other than talk of tablet laptops, or the little USB tablets that don't have screens.

Hello! I am currently setting up a home automation system using a combination of my Raspberry Pi (Model B), the PiTFT 2.8" resistive touchscreen from Adafruit, the Nwazet Pecan Pi 6-channel relay, and a remote-controlled outlet.

I was previously controlling my lights using a headless system and the RasPi Check Android App, but I wanted to make a touch-screen control for using the PiTFT touchscreen.

I used the Easy Install image provided by Adafruit, and got the screen running fine, however when I try to run it with the IDC cable plugged in, the screen remains white.

I was previously using the Nwazet Pi Power Supply V2 to power the Raspberry Pi and the Relay, but found that it could not handle the addition of the screen, so I moved the Pi to its own power supply to no avail.

Could this be a defective screen, or is there another issue I can look at here?

I'd be happy to post my setup and show off the setup once I get things running smoothly again!

Hey guys,

I am currently coding a gui for some functions in my car. I want to install a touchscreen in a custom center console but i dont want it to look like a rectangular screen. I'd like to cut an oval into a 1/8" plexi or aluminum sheet and lay it on top of the screen. Would this overlay have to float above the screen slightly? This would be ok but if moisture/liquid were to fall onto the screen, it could give me a bunch of other issues (mold, ruined electronics etc).
another option is to get a capacitive touchscreen overlay, but this would add another $100 to the b.o.m. Is there another solution that I'm not thinking of? is there a way to use the resistive touchscreen?

t.i.a.,

I also don't get how touchscreen could be DECALIBRATED. My DS lite touchscreen worked just fine for straight 5 years.

Also, why resistive touchscreens decalibrate over time?

I'm looking for a head unit that meets the following criteria, in approximate order of importance:

1. Supports wireless CarPlay
2. Has a volume knob (or at least physical volume buttons)
3. Capacitive touchscreen, not resistive
4. Not gigantic

Does anyone know of a unit that would meet those requirements? The only one I've found under $1000 that meets the first two is the Jensen CAR910W, but I've seen a lot of bad reviews for Jensen. I'm also considering the Kenwood DMX907S which looks like it has physical buttons.

If it matters, I'm looking to replace the factory unit in a 2017 Toyota Prius.

Edit: typo

Hi I’m looking for good quality heated thin gloves, wondering if anyone has any recommendations?

I’m Looking for thin heated gloves that are water resistant/waterproof, and that are touchscreen compatible, and I would also like them to use when driving my car this winter

I would like to get gloves with a thickness of less than than 3mm if possible

And I would like to wear these gloves in temperatures of -15 C / 14 F (if possible). It will hardly ever get to that temperature where I live but I would like to be covered when it does

Budget: £100 /$130 USD

Thanks in advance!!

Alright, so this year will be my 6th year in radio and I haven't got an SWR meter or antenna analyser yet. I want to change that. How the hell I got this far without one I'll never know.

I was looking at the NanoVNA because it's cheaper than the big MFJ SWR meter that's almost standard equipment and it doesn't take up near as much space. It also doesn't require a million dollars' worth of batteries either! I have a few questions before I get one though just to make sure I know that this is what I want and that it will fit my requirements:

1 - I know these can perform measurements of VHF and UHF resonance just fine. However, the listings and reviews I have seen are somewhat unclear as to their HF capabilities. Can these perform measurements of 20, 40, 80, and/or 160 metres? 40 is my main band, with 20 being a healthy 2nd, and although I almost never get on 80 and 160, I have a 160 dipole I use for both when I occasionally get on 80 and 160 (and also AM broadcast band listening and general SWLing) that is in dire need of proper cutting and tuning.

1.5 - Niche question: Will these do measurements on the new 630 and 2000 metre bands? I don't plan on operating on these ever, unless I get lucky in life and somehow get my hands on massive amounts of acreage (and also learn how to engineer an XCVR for these bands) but I'd like to know for future reference.

2 - These can connect up to a computer. Can I expect any greater resolution in display of the data by doing so, or will I just be looking at the small display blown up?

2.5 - Can these be connected to a smartphone and used with an app for similar data manipulation and visualisation?

3 - What is the learning curve on these things, and once I have learned how to use them, how easy are they to use?

4 - How simple are firmware updates to install?

5 - Is the touchscreen resistive or capacitive?

Thanks for all your help.

Vauxhall Corsa-e: The Two-Month Owner’s Experience - Mixed Driving Scenarios

Folder of snaps: https://imgur.com/a/BQoZL59

I made up my mind very early that my next car was going to be an electric vehicle. I had named my price at £250p/m, so then it was just a question of when and what car. Until my car arrived on April 3rd, I had been researching along the lines of the Peugeot e-208 and the Renault Zoe - superminis with at least 100+ miles motorway range and stylish looks. If I had the choice, I would have gotten the Pug, and if I was limited to price, I would have leased the Zoe but the PCP deal for under £250p/m for a Corsa-e showed up on Carwow.

I immediately made the enquiry and it turns out that there was a calculation error and that the Government’s at the time £3,000 EV grant had been double counted so the actual number was £279. Still after some negotiation, we were able to secure a deal in mid-March for £266/pm and £1800 upfront for a brand new Corse-e SE Nav for 4 years and GAP insurance and 30,000 miles on a free home chargepoint installation that only arrived in early April: 3 weeks after delivery.

In the first month, I racked up about 750 miles. The longest of these journeys being my return leg from Luton to Derby and then to Walsall which I will talk about later on.

Exterior

This car is quite sexy in my opinion. While I would always prefer her sexier French sister aesthetically, Corsa-e 2020 on the outside really can make a solid initial impression. The LED lights in particular will pierce through any misconceptions and the alloy wheels are a wonderful touch to bring this car into the 2020s.

Interior

Coming from a Hyundai i10 Comfort, anything released this side of 2020 with a touchscreen, built in bluetooth and sat-nav and DAB radio was always going to be a huge win for me. While the interior of the car does not really scream £26,000 car with its reliance on scratchy plastics, it’s a clean and functional interior. I really wish they would have included floor mats though!

The touch screen menus take a bit of wrapping your head around but after playing with them for a few hours and knowing what’s where in their unexpected and seemingly strange places, you’re greeted well with several options to customise the experience such as welcome lights, whether you want your satnav on the touchscreen or on the dashboard and so on and so forth.

I do really like the dials for temperature controls as well as
