Hey All,

I am building this project for my freshman engineering class and it involves a touch sensor. Does anyone know of a touch sensor thing that is like a physical button that you push and then it can be registered in a program? Sort of like a mouse; when you push the left click on a mouse, it registers it on a program. Specifically, what I am thinking of is like a one button wireless "keyboard" that someone can push and it will send a signal to the computer; whatever it might be. I was thinking of taking 2 wireless mice and hook up one touch pad to the left click and the other touch pad to the right click. So then whenever someone wants to activate the switch, they just touch the pad, which will then activate the mouse clicks, which will then register in the program.

Also, I am looking for a motion detector that will do the same thing; send a signal to a program.

Thanks Much!!
 
Touch screens operate on this principle. Should be easy enough to find a kit online with a USB interface or RS-232. Same thing with motion detector.
