Touch sensor has beencommon nowadays for displays and loT projects with
Arduino. They can be found in lamps, touch screens of smartphones,
andotherwidearrays of applications aswell.
However, doyouunderstand theworkingprinciple ofa touch sensor and
how to make a simple touch sensor?
When there is contact or a touch on the surface of the Touch Sensor. It acts
like a closed switch and allows the current toflow through it. When
the contact is released it acts similar to the opened switch and hence there is
no flow of current.
No contact
Touch Sensor
As per their functions, the Touch Sensors are classified into two types
which areused in different circumstances and utilities.
Automotive
6 Industrial
6 High responsiveness
2. The outside conductive layer is then pressed against the inner layer,
resulting in voltage changes
Office equipment
Advantages of a resistive touch sensor:
6 Cost-effective and durable to be used in harsh environments
Less complex
Electrical disturbance
Amount of pressure
Howit measures from a change in
applied to the surface
