DESCRIPTION: 
The CS453000 Charge Transfer Touch Sensor is a self-contained digital IC capable of detecting near-proximity or touch. It will project a proximity sense field through air, and any dielectric like glass, plastic, stone, ceramic, and most kinds of wood. It can also turn small metal-bearing objects into intrinsic sensors, making them responsive to proximity or touch. This Sensor also has the ability to self calibrate continuously. The output of the Sensor can be simply connected to any C Stamp digital input pin. The option-selectable toggle mode permits on/off touch control. A HeartBeat™ signal is also included, allowing the C Stamp^TM to monitor the health of the CS453000 continuously if desired. The Touch Sensor is compatible with the C Stamp microcomputer’s supplies and signal levels. Communicating with the Sensor is made easy with A-WIT's supplied software command GTPIND. This simple command interface is all that is required to acquire touch readings from the Sensor.
