Capacitive Touch Sensor

Touch sensors are also known as Tactile sensors. These are simple to design, low cost and are produced in large scale. With the advance in technology, these sensors are rapidly replacing the mechanical switches. Based on their functions there are two types of touch sensors- Capacitive sensor and Resistive sensor Capacitive sensors work by measuring capacitance and are seen in portable devices. These are durable, robust and attractive with low cost. Resistive sensors don’t depend on any electrical properties for operation. These sensors work by measuring the pressure applied to their surface.

Guitar Pickguard Wireless MIDI Controller

“A wireless MIDI controller for an acoustic guitar’s pickguard that detects note presses via capacitive touch sensing. I perform and record fingerstyle guitar music and wanted a way to control a software synthesizer during live performances. This would allow …

Node-RED Console for Teaching Physical Computing / AI / IoT

“Through Code Club I have come to appreciate the value of visual, no-code approaches to teaching computational thinking. I wanted to expand upon the physical computing education possible with a Micro:Bit and also to introduce IoT and AI to …

Capacitive Touch With PIC16F886 Microcontroller

“In this tutorial we will go over how you can use a PIC16F886 microcontroller to detect differances in capacitance, this can later be used to tell if a touch pad is being pressed. It’s good to be familiar with …

Twitch - Your robotic pet

“This instructable will show you how I built “Twitch”. Twitch is a virtual pet that is able to express itself through it’s eye, movements, and the sounds it makes, which happens to be sound clips from some of its …

Arudino Harpsi-Gourd

“Build your own Harpsi-Gourd to play just like Lurch of the Addams Family, trading the over-rated touch sensitive banana for the season appropriate Pumpkins, that generate musical notes. This Harpsi-Gourd was built to be exhibited at our local “How-to Halloween …
