Wednesday, Atmel Corp. (ATML) announced the release of the Atmel QTouch Suite, a complete development suite for capacitive touch buttons, sliders and wheels using AVR microcontrollers. The Atmel QTouch Suite is a bundle that includes the new QT600 development kit and QTouch Studio, AVR Studio and QTouch Library SW package for AVR microcontrollers, the company said.
Atmel's QT600 offers a powerful environment for the designer to evaluate and design touch-based solutions. The QT600's scalable design allows the designer to use their own touch sensor boards with various microcontroller boards or to connect QT600 sensor boards directly to their own application.
"As consumers continue to demand touch capabilities in their everyday products, designers must find faster, easier ways to embed these functions. Atmel's new QTouch Suite is an ideal solution for designers using AVR-based microcontrollers. The easy-to-use, integrated package enables designers a quick, full featured solution," said Susie Inouye, Research Director, Principal Analyst of Databeans Inc.
