Arduino interface shield that provides 8 capacitive touch detection circuits
Interfaces to the Arduino through only one Arduino pin!
Stack up to 16 cards for up to 128 capacitive touch inputs – all still communicating through 1 Arduino pin
Uses high speed, half-duplex ‘soft serial’ to communicate with the Arduino – this let’s you choose any Arduino pin for communication with the XCTS-8A.
Arduino library for XCTS-8A is available for download here
Capacitive Touch Sense technology is a reliable alternative to mechanical switches - There are no moving parts to wear out or corrode over time
Senses touch through any non-conductive material like glass, plexiglass, tile, wood, plastic, drywall, etc.
Sensitivity of the Touch Sense circuitry is adjustable to support a wide range of overlay materials and thicknesses - up to 1" thick or more
Create custom touch sense plates using any conductive material such as copper tape, copper clad board, or even some random small metal objects
On-board LEDs provide visual feedback when touch is detected, 8 indicator LEDs display the state of the touch sense circuits
Applications:
- Any application that calls for pushbuttons or toggle switches
- Invisible switch - hidden behind any non-conductive surface like tile, wood, drywall, etc.
- Replacement of mechanical pushbutton or toggle switches with reliable solid state Capacitive Touch switches
- Capacitive Proximity switch - sensitivity can be set high enough to detect the nearby presence of a person, animal, or any other object containing trace amounts of moisture.
- Moisture sensor switch - this circuit can detect the presence of moisture nearby (within 1/2") without having to come in direct contact with the moisture itself.
This is an intermediate electronic kit containing 38 components and 1 PCB, and can be assembled in about 1 hour
Designed and packaged in the USA
