Risks of using under-powered batteries in haptics

Posted on3 Nov, 20166 Feb, 2019

Many haptic applications, in particular, wearables, face severe trade-offs in overcoming limitations in power supplies. A battery’s volume is directly related to a host of other desirable specifications, such as voltage, current, or capacity. For many designers, squeezing as much life out of their battery Continue reading

Rugged Piezoelectric Passcode Haptic Example

Posted on26 Aug, 20147 Feb, 2019

We’ve written a new example application for the Haptic Feedback Evaluation Kit. Piezoelectric sensors can be used for a variety of applications, but we chose to look at using them for touch buttons. They’re great because they don’t get damaged as easily as normal contact switches (such as Continue reading
