TD-USB-02 interface with touchpad sensor board and WinAmp interface.

This is an example USB project showing how to interface a touchpad sensor (the AD7142ACPZ) with a standard XP/Vista computer.

The TD-USB-02 board with a PIC18F2550 communicates with:

  • the PC: USB 2.0 through a mini-B connector.
  • the touchpad sensor board: SPI over 8-wire flatcable.
  • PC WinAmp application controls (start/stop, next/previous track, volume up/down).

Here are the technical specifications:

  • PC Win XP/Vista interface application with Visual C# 2008 Express: free download.
  • TD-USB-02 (green pcb on top) with PIC18F2550 USB HID setup.
  • TouchPad sensor board (047) with AD7142ACPZ.
  • USB Bus powered, no external power supply needed.
  • Activation of central wheel scrollpad and three buttons from any distance between 2-5mm.
  • Works from within a plastic enclosure, thickness up to 3-4mm.
  • Two LEDs (right above and under the centre button) blink when a pad is activated.
  • Custom command activated by top right button (example: “c:\windows\explorer.exe” )
  • TD-USB-02 software is 100% upgradable with a simple RS232 bootloader.
  • RS232 interface for raw data readings.
  • PCB Dimensions: TD-USB-02 40 x 41 mm or 1″57 x 1″61

These assembled boards are available from our online shop.

Source code (CCS C and Visual C#) can be purchased separately.
