The 16-channel capacitive touch sensor module uses the TTP229 Touch Sensitive IC to detect touch inputs, making it easy to add capacitive touch inputs to your project. Touch sensing ICs are designed to replace traditional direct selection with a variety of pad sizes. The module has 16 touchpads. It supplies 2.4-5.5V DC to the module and the touchpad is fully active to capture the input.
The
's 16-channel capacitive touch sensor module is easy to connect. It can be used with or without a microcontroller or Arduino. If a capacitive load (such as a human hand) is in the immediate vicinity of the sensor pad, the sensor will detect the change in capacitance and activate the switch. Custom sensor pads can be made from almost any conductive material. These sensors can detect contact through thin layers of non-conductive materials such as glass, plastic, cloth and even wood.
Therefore, the 16-channel capacitive touch sensor module can be hidden on walls and elsewhere and is a great alternative to eliminate traditional pushbutton problems. A total of 16 pads are available in this module. The sensor pad can also be extended with wire or almost any conductive material.
