Gravity: Digital Capacitive Touch Sensor For Arduino
This arduino digital capacitive touch sensor provides a one-touch style switch on your Arduino project. It uses the most popular capacitive sensing technology which is the same as your mobile phone.
This little sensor can “feel” people and metal touch and feedback a high/low voltage level. Even isolated by cloth or paper, it still can feel the touch. The sensitivity will decrease as the isolation gets thicker.
To ease the difficulty, a Gravity Interface is adapted to allow plug & play. The IO expansion shield is the best match to connect this sensor with your Arduino. As this sensor can work at 3.3V which makes it compatible with Raspberry Pi, intel edison, joule and curie.
If you want to start playing with sensors, the Gravity: 27 Pcs Sensor Kit for Arduino is a great choice for you to learn about a variety of sensors.
