Abstract
An electronic device may include a first part; a second part may be movably connected to the second part; a first capacitance electrode incorporated into the first part; a second capacitance electrode incorporated into the second part; a controller in communication with the first capacitance electrode, the second capacitance electrode, or combinations thereof; memory in communication with the controller; and programmed instructions stored in the memory and configured, when executed, to cause the controller to broadcast a signal with the first capacitance electrode; and detect with the broadcasted signal with the second capacitance electrode.
