	~~You are now ready to start writing your own code for the device. The best way to do that is to start from our examples:~~

	This Phidget is compatible with the {{ExampleLink\|CapacitiveTouch}}.

	Once you have your example, you will need to follow the instructions on the page for your programming language to get it running. To find these instructions, select your programming language from the [[Software_Overview#Language_Support\|Software Overview]] page.

			*The sensitivity of the 1015 can also be adjusted. The higher the sensitivity, the more susceptible the 1015 will be to sensing touch.

			The 1015 is actually a capacitive-charge sensor, detecting changes in the capacitance between the on-board electrodes and the object making contact. The side of the circuit board opposite the connector and components is the side intended for contact. The internal sensor used for charge-detection is a Quantum Research Group QT401 Sensor.

	===Device Inputs===		===Device Inputs===
			The 1015 appears to the Phidget software libraries as a CapacitiveTouch object. Sliding a finger along the touch sensor varies the axis value from 0 to 1 in approximately 125 discrete steps. When the finger is removed, the final measured value is retained.

	For many projects it is required that the highest and lowest available values be more readily accessible than the full range. The PhidgetLinearTouch board has been designed so that the end-zones of the touch area have a greater contact area, allowing for effective maximum/minimum value control. If it is desired to use the touch slider as an array of buttons, or a combination of an array of buttons and a smaller slide-touch area, one must only interpret specific sub-ranges of sensor values differently in software depending upon the intended use. If sub-ranges of values are to be used as buttons, it is recommended that a small range of sensor values be left between the subranges where a null-response is observed.

	===Dielectric Separation===		===Dielectric Separation===
			The 1015 has been left without components on the contact side so that it may be mounted behind a sheet of glass or plastic. The recommended thickness of separation material is 1/8". Silicon adhesive is recommended when attaching the Phidget to the material; standing the PhidgetLinearTouch off or creating space between the separation material and the Phidget can cause false-triggering to occur. It should be noted that materials thicker than 1/8" may work, but will require a larger surface area of contact to ensure proper triggering (i.e. two fingers instead of one).
