cool buttons!
So as most of you know I've been building a computer for my car, part of the project requires me to have 'stealth' buttons that are hidden behind a flat piece of painted plexi. Well i got these ic chips that are really cool and i thought i'd share them with you guys.
here is the chip i'm using:

they have matrix ones for keys that will be close to each other and they also have sliders and rotary dials (like the ipods: http://www.qprox.com/products/qwheel_qt510.php) I think; for my next project, i may try to hack the a/c controls and make a custom flat panel interface with these buttons.

Buttons are cool. Ive seen those on alot of industrial controls in semiconductor plants. The technology has been around for ever, its basically grounding / drian senseing switching. They last for a pretty long time, and dont false acutate much.
