You can’t have a touch sensitive switch without a way to detect the presence of a finger! A touch sensor, especially a capacitive touch sensor, has some surprisingly sophisticated electronics to ...

Capacitive sensing isn't limited to your smartphone. In fact, you can use contact with human skin (or any other conductive surface) to trigger almost any circuit. And the Touch Board from Bare ...

In a world increasingly dominated by touchscreens, a London design studio is taking an approach to touch that's both low(er)-tech and innovative at the same time. Bare Conductive raised over ...

Infrared line tracker modules hardly need an in-depth explanation as they’re very familiar to most electronics and robotics hobbyists. In this post I’ll discuss a popular and cheap infrared line ...

Dejan Nedelkovski has built a stylish DIY touchscreen Arduino music player and alarm clock which has been created using a folded piece of sheet metal to provide a minimalist yet clean enclosure to ...

Along with all the colorful, geometric influence of Memphis design everywhere, giant wristwatch clocks were one of our favorite things about the 80s. We always wanted one, and frankly, we still do.

Capacitive touch sensors are entirely in the domain of DIY, requiring little more than a carefully-chosen conductive surface and a microcontroller. This led [John Phillips] to ask why not embed such ...

This module allows the user to wire up an Arduino to any conductive interface (fruits, cans, ect.) and play sounds using that interface. It can be used to create sounds in an integrated system or ...
