No microcontroller is required here - just power with 1.8 to 5.5VDC and connect up to 5 conductive pads to the 5 left-hand pins. When a capacitive load is detected (e.g. a person touches one of the conductive contacts) the corresponding LED on the right lights up and the output pin goes low. You can use this to update an existing normal-button project where buttons connect to ground when pressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote that only one contact will be detected at once (this is to protect against having a hand brush against two or more contacts at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes with a fully assembled board, and a stick of 0.1\" header so you can plug it into a breadboard. For contacts, we suggest using copper foil, then solder a wire that connects from the foil pad to the breakout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.adafruit.com\/datasheets\/AT42QT1070.pdf\"\u003eThe datasheet has many details on sensitivity, power usage, etc.\u003c\/a\u003e - note that this board uses the chip in 'standalone' mode only, it cannot be used in I2C mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLearn:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.adafruit.com\/adafruit-capacitive-touch-sensor-breakouts\"\u003eAdafruit Capacitive Touch Sensor Breakouts \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Adafruit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42290929139903,"sku":"MLE00488","price":500.0,"currency_code":"PHP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0531\/3419\/6927\/files\/20e71feacc8f3fb8376052ac530e1192_0e818dbd-a267-432e-b219-845847ab7a10.jpg?v=1735816408","url":"https:\/\/makerlab.ph\/products\/standalone-5pad-capacitive-touch-sensor-breakout-at42qt1070","provider":"Makerlab PH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
