Bare Conductive Capacitive Sensor

Use the grapher to visualise the sensitivity and precision of the touch board s capacitive sensors.

Bare conductive capacitive sensor.

Ensure that bare conductive touch board is selected under tools board and that the correct serial cu port is selected under tools port. The paint is a great solution if you want to quickly connect your electronic components together or draw your own creative interface. When correctly constructed this sensor can detect the presence of a person from up to 300 mm and can work behind any non conductive material such as glass wood plastic etc. The touch sensor is a powerful capacitive proximity sensor that sends a signal to the attached bits as you physically approach it.

There are two categories of targets that capacitive sensors can detect the first being conductive and the second is non conductive. Make a capacitive sensor for arduino capacitive sensing is a great way to create touch and distance sensing interfaces that are low cost and that. Starting with our electric paint bare conductive has created tools which make prototyping smart surfaces easy from the very beginning our customers have used electric paint to create capacitive sensing on a diverse array of surfaces for an equally diverse set of use cases. Set up the touch board with the arduino ide.

Conductive targets include metal water blood acids bases and salt water. How to set up the pi cap with a raspberry pi. Step 1 electric paint. Electric paint is a water based paint that conducts electricity.

Discover how to set up the touch board with the arduino. In an electrical circuit you often find a resistor and a capacitor the resistor is a passive element in the circuit and the capacitor an active one. The closer you get the higher the voltage it sends out. These targets have a greater capacitance and a targets dielectric strength is immaterial.

Bare conductive is a design and technology company producing an electrically conductive paint capacitive sensor hardware and a range of kits for making everything from interactive walls to musical instruments. At bare conductive we focus on making scalable smart surfaces and capacitive sensing is a foundational part of that vision. In these boards each electrode acts as a capacitive sensor.
