Adafruit 12 x Capacitive Touch Shield for Arduino

Adafruit 12 x Capacitive Touch Shield for Arduino info

Adafruit 12 x Capacitive Touch Shield for Arduino will inspire your next interactive project with 12 capacitive touch sensors. Capacitive touch sensing works by detecting when a person (or animal) has touched one of the sensor electrodes. Capacitive touch sensing can be used used for touch-reactive tablets and phones, as well as control panels for appliances, which is where you may have used it before. Adafruit 12 x Capacitive Touch Shield for Arduino allows you to create electronics that can react to human touch, with up to 12 individual sensors.

Adafruit 12 x Capacitive Touch Shield for Arduino has 12 'figure 8' holes in it that can be gripped onto with alligator clip cables. Attach one side of the clip to the shield and the other side to something electrically conductive (like metal) or full of water (like vegetables or fruit). Then start up Adafruit’s handy Arduino library to detect when the object is touched. That's pretty much it, very easy! For advanced users, you can also solder to a pad to make a slimmer & more permanent connection. Adafruit 12 x Capacitive Touch Shield for Arduino works great with any Arduino as it only uses the I2C pins (SCL & SDA).
