A user interface for a lighting control, the user interface comprising: a touch sensitive front surface having a longitudinal axis and a lateral axis; a four-wire resistive touch pad responsive to a point actuation on the touch sensitive front surface, the resistive touch pad having a longitudinal resistive element for providing a first control signal representative of the position of the point actuation along the longitudinal axis, and a lateral resistive element for providing a second control signal representative of the position of the point actuation along the lateral axis; a controller adapted to receive the first and second control signals; a first capacitor coupled between the lateral resistive element and a circuit common, the first capacitor operable to charge and discharge through the longitudinal resistive element of the resistive touch pad to stabilize the first control signal; and first, second, and third switches (760, 762, 764) responsive to the controller and coupled to the touch sensitive device, each of the switches comprising first, second, and third terminals, and adapted to be controlled between a first position in which the first terminal is electrically connected to the second terminal, and a second position in which the first terminal is electrically connected to the third terminal, the controller adapted to generate a single output signal for controlling all of the switches to either the first position or the second position; wherein when the controller controls all of the switches to the first position, a DC supply voltage is coupled across the longitudinal resistive element, the controller is coupled to the lateral resistive element for receiving the first control signal, and the first capacitor is coupled between the lateral resistive element and the circuit common, wherein when the controller controls all of the switches to the second position, the DC supply voltage is coupled across the lateral resistive element, the first capacitor is not coupled between the lateral resistive element and the circuit common, and the controller is coupled to the longitudinal resistive element for receiving the second control signal; and wherein the controller is adapted to determine, from the second control signal, if the touch sensitive front surface is presently being actuated, and to determine, from the first control signal, the position of the point actuation along the longitudinal axis. a touch sensitive front surface having a longitudinal axis and a lateral axis; a four-wire resistive touch pad responsive to a point actuation on the touch sensitive front surface, the resistive touch pad having a longitudinal resistive element for providing a first control signal representative of the position of the point actuation along the longitudinal axis, and a lateral resistive element for providing a second control signal representative of the position of the point actuation along the lateral axis; a controller adapted to receive the first and second control signals; a first capacitor coupled between the lateral resistive element and a circuit common, the first capacitor operable to charge and discharge through the longitudinal resistive element of the resistive touch pad to stabilize the first control signal; and first, second, and third switches (760, 762, 764) responsive to the controller and coupled to the touch sensitive device, each of the switches comprising first, second, and third terminals, and adapted to be controlled between a first position in which the first terminal is electrically connected to the second terminal, and a second position in which the first terminal is electrically connected to the third terminal, the controller adapted to generate a single output signal for controlling all of the switches to either the first position or the second position; wherein when the controller controls all of the switches to the first position, a DC supply voltage is coupled across the longitudinal resistive element, the controller is coupled to the lateral resistive element for receiving the first control signal, and the first capacitor is coupled between the lateral resistive element and the circuit common, wherein when the controller controls all of the switches to the second position, the DC supply voltage is coupled across the lateral resistive element, the first capacitor is not coupled between the lateral resistive element and the circuit common, and the controller is coupled to the longitudinal resistive element for receiving the second control signal; and wherein the controller is adapted to determine, from the second control signal, if the touch sensitive front surface is presently being actuated, and to determine, from the first control signal, the position of the point actuation along the longitudinal axis.
