DESCRIPTION OF THE DATA
This data is a compilation of numerous experiments investigating the behaviour of the NXP Semiconductor PCF8883US bare die with a sensing electrode intended for integration into textiles. Strip-shaped electrode for capacitive proximity and touch sensing was strived for, with a comparison to square-based electrode shapes if the copper-polyimide electrode was ever exchanged for a conductive textile electrode attached to the circuit input. For each experiment, data for each reading was collected at least three times before being averaged. The data in this set were collected at the University of Southampton, Test Lab, Zepler Building, Level 4, and the data can be viewed using Microsoft Excel.

This dataset contains:
Experimental data that was published in IEEE Sensors journal paper titled 'Embedded Capacitive Proximity and Touch Sensing Flexible Circuit System for Electronic Textile and Wearable Systems'
