The tacterion DevKit is a hardware and software platform designed to evaluate and integrate plyon® sensor technology into various applications. It allows developers to prototype touch, force, and proximity sensing use cases using Tacterion’s sensor solutions.
DevKit D01 is based on the original electronics and works with plyon® flex sensors. DevKit D02 is a more recent version designed for compatibility with tacterion’s new TPU-based stretch sensors. It features updated electronics and improved flexibility for integrating and testing sensor solutions.
No specialized knowledge is required. The DevKit is designed to be accessible for both hardware professionals and newcomers. It includes documentation and setup guides that simplify the integration and testing process.
The DevKit includes various plyon® sensors in different shapes and formats, including Square, Medium, Stripe, Slider, and Array types. These sensors support the measurement of touch, force, and proximity.
Yes, the DevKit is compatible with common prototyping platforms such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi. This makes it suitable for integration into a wide range of custom or existing systems.
HFC™, or Hybrid Force Compensation, is tacterion’s proprietary technology that combines resistive and capacitive sensing. It provides stable, drift-free signal output over time, which is important for applications involving prolonged or continuous interaction.
Yes, sensor sensitivity can be configured through the DevKit interface. This allows users to calibrate the sensor response to match specific requirements for force or proximity detection.
Each DevKit purchase includes one hour of technical support from tacterion. Additional resources such as documentation, tutorials, and firmware are also provided to assist users during development.
