Abstract

The control unit has a pressure sensitive foil (10) with regions associated with symbolic keys which produce pressure dependent coordinate currents. A microcontroller (9) converts the pressure dependent currents into coordinate values and compares them with stored coordinate values. The microcontroller generates at least one instruction associated with the coordinate value for controlling the one or more electronic devices depending on the results of the comparison. The keys are on a replaceable carrier film (8) mounted above the foil.
