Abstract :
The aim of the work is to investigate the possibilities of capacitive sensing of driver position, and by virtue of the results, to design and to realize a few models which will demonstrate the principle, practically. The paper describes two types of capacitive driver. Each of them differently defines its present position. They were made by polymer thick film technology (PTFT) onto polyester foil.
