i'm trying to find a component that can tell me its location on the X and Y axis. i want to use it to track the location of my finger, so the resolution should be high.
does anybody know if such a component exists? i can't find anything like it.
Please give some more details!
What area do you require this to cover?
It would help if you described the application.
Like a touch screen?
Or one of these:

Or the touchpad of a laptop?
That's a non-sequitur.
Put some figures on it - are you talking 5mm? 1mm? 0.1mm? ...
Do you mean like this?
which looks like it might be an evolution of this:

I had one of them - back at the turn of the century!
Hello yair1ashtamker
Take a search engine of your choice and ask the WWW for 'Accelerometer +arduino' to collect some data to be sorted out to get the needed information.
an accelerometer alone won't be sufficient: it'll tell you that the finger is moving - but not where it is.
For noncontact object location, the Arduino-compatible CMU Pixy2 camera can automatically track colored blobs with decent accuracy (put a colored dot on your fingernail).

preferably 0.1mm, its purpose is to help children write letters correctly by tracing their finger movement and sending feedback
A stylus on a touchscreen is probably the best bet for that, then?
id like it to work with actual pen and paper, so a stylus would not provide for the purpose in this case.
So see post #5, then
