Hello electro-tech Forums!
I am currently working on a multitouch project that requires me to read the data of lots of optical sensors (photodiodes) in realtime.
Since I am still relatively new to the electronics world, I was hoping some of the experienced members here could help me and point me in the right direction what approach / design might be best for my requirements.
In a nutshell I would ideally like to have:
- realtime data (at least 50Hz)
- maximum possible number of photodiodes per microcontroller (respecting the above)
- cost efficient
I'd be very thankful for some advice on what combination of photodiodes, ADCs, multiplexers?/FETs?/BBDs?, ...? would fit my requirements best.
Thank you very much in advance and have a great weekend!
