I am the owner of RadioSet-GO, a source of innovative, portable, QRP (low power) HAM radio equipment. I used to purchase capacitive touch key boards to integrate with my projects and they worked perfectly. Unfortunately, the owner of that business passed away, and I am left trying to come up with something just as good. I have attempted several circuits myself with only some success. I have a lot of insight into the subject that will help. Here is what I need: A capacitive sense touch keying circuit for Morse code transmitters. It needs to be small (I will make it surface-mount), operate on 12VDC, be energy efficient, and self calibrating. It will have only two inputs , one for dits and another for dahs. The input contacts are metal endcaps which mount to the outside of Pelican boxes. Touching the contacts with finger tips will switch the iambic keyer inside the radio and cause it to transmit. Touching both at once and holding will result in both switches closing and an alternating di-dah-di-dah-di-dah sequence by the internal keyer. Switching resistance must not exceed a certain value, and needs to be stable. It needs to respond to touch as instantly as possible, without false readings or 'self-keying'. It also needs to be immune to RFI and not generate noise in the receiver. The circuit will be used in a variety of RF environments with different antennas, up to 15 watts PEP. Those are the general requirements. The circuit that worked so well for me implemented two 12F683 IC's. I have included a circuit diagram, so if you can create a .hex file to make this exact circuit work for me, that would be ideal. If you feel you are suited for this project, I will provide more helpful insight. Thank you!

Hi, as you can see from my profile I am a capacitive sensing expert with more than 10 years experience doing what you require. I would actually advise using this IC: [login to view URL] It can easily take two capacitive sensing inputs and then drive the two transistors in your circuit. What I can do is make a prototype here, show you the video, then send you several programmed chips + documentation for you to play around with to see if it meets your requirements. Let me know if this plan works for you, sounds like a fun project! Erik

Hi, I've worked with touch sensors before and can suggest a few options that would not require using an mcu, but a simpler circuit designed for touch key sensing. With a pcb made with the right layers design i think most rf interference can be negated. I'm interested if it would be possible to mount a sensor pcb on the inside side of the case behind the nut terminals. Let me know if this sounds relevant, The bid includes design of the required circuit and pcb layout. Regards, Nimrod.

Hey, I am a proficient PCB designer with more than 6 years experience in this field. I've done layout in Altium for high speed and RF circuits. Furthermore, I designed an SDR with high power transmitter and I know what I am dealing with when I'm going to use a captive touch nearby RF electronics. I can design this circuit with all the consideration for signal integrity in 2 weeks. And if needed, I can build a prototype for the demonstration of reliability.

Hey, Your project looks really cool. These are kind (unique) of projects I am looking work on. Truthfully I don't have much experience with capacitive touch, but definitely can figure out how to get it done. I do have lot experience with firmware, circuit design, PCB etc. Please let me know if I can work on it. Regards, Vidit Katlana

Dear sir: I'm specialist in high frequency circuit design. I've used several types of PIC microcontrollers to control RF equipment (frequency synthesizers, tone generators, PA controllers, etc). The capacitive touch can be easily implemented in any PIC16 device. Please, feel free to contact me about your projet,
