TouchBoard Compatible with Arduino

Introduction

OUT OF THE BOX

Straight out of the box, the Touch Board acts a touch-triggered MP3 player. It doesnt need to be connected to a computer to play sounds, when it arrives there is already an audio guide on the SD card that plays when you touch the electrodes. You dont need an internet connection or computer to get started.

HOW IT WORKS

The Touch Board uses capacitive sensing. This means you dont have to actually touch a sensor to send a signal to the board as it is detecting the change in the electrical field rather than connecting a circuit. The Touch Board requires no second connection this means you can use one hand to interact with the sensor while the other remains completely free! You can also trigger the Touch Board through other resistive materials such as glass and wood. 

CODING

The Touch Board is compatible with the Arduino platform and you can program the chip on the board to do pretty much anything you want, whether its touch, proximity, HID (mouse and keyboard), MIDI and much more. The Touch Board has been designed to work with a range of shields so you can add extra functions.  

POWER

You can use a USB cable to power the Touch Board, or just plug in a LiPo battery. Your Touch Board can stand completely alone, or concealed in a project. The LiPo battery will charge when the board is plugged in via USB.
