Great ! You are the best Mr. Allister. The use of fritzing really kicks up the explanation. Do you keep a library with all sensors and chips to share ? I use the old ttp223. the main advantage of using that sensor is the ability to receive data according to soldering down in the back of the sensor. That means one or zero or toggle with every touch. Another thing to mention is that connecting your wire during activity will be read as a signal, but if connected while sensor is off off.the the wire won't be taken in consideration. The true advantage is the amount of signals for 2 wires in i2c protocol.
Nice module. There are ways to get touch sensing without extra hardware on the Nano etc., but that I like that module and just ordered one. Btw, setting the register to "reg | sensitivity" with sensitivity =0x3f for example overwrites the low nibble of reg with f (hex). Use sensitivity=0x30 (and so on) instead to keep the nibble. Seems to work anyway though.
Newbie Here... I have a few Questions. Does the memory on either board CAP118 or the Nano stop working when memory is filled? 2) Once the CAP1188 is setup does it still need the Nano to work? 3) Can you give an example how to increasing the sensitivity of the board? 4) After a "complete setup" when running is this able to restart if there is an error detected and how can this be done? 5) Is there a location you have this code in text form to be copied? I search and found nothing. Thanks for your time...
Question: If I make a large pad (like the wire "hand" you used) The whole thing turns into an antenna, including the lead going to it. How can I isolate the pad? Im struggling with having a distinction with several pads as all of their leads go to the same spot ( the chip) I'm also having accidental reads through the side of my projects and have not figured out how to shield anything, since conductors seem to enhance the effect and insulators dont seem super effective at blocking.
kinda Arduino noob here, Are you able to use more than 1 of these boards on an Arduino? A project of mine needs around 4 of these boards simultaniously.
The reason is that Mr Alistor modify s the original CAP1188.h library, and renamed it as "src/CAP1188.h" witch you can download with the .ino file if you are a Partreon subscriber. But I cant find it, at the Patreon site. No code en no src.Cap1188.h. !
Greetings from Germany. Sorry for my bad English. I have been working with CAP sensors for the Arduino for some time, and always used the "MPR121 as keypad 4x3, I2C" Unfortunately it doesn't work to put too little sensitivity behind the glass Have you ever tested whether the sensor is also addressed by glass. Thanks for your effort. Greetings Gerd
I'm trying to do something similar, using a 12 touch pin capsense breakout board, ADAFruit MPR121. I want to be able to scan the touches and get all 12 pin states in one step. You are sort of explaining how to do this, but I'm not really getting it. Where can I go for answeres? Probably the teensy forum. I am going to need three capsense boards, as I need all 36 touches for my project. I'm using clk and data to daisychain all three boards to a Teensy 3.2 board. I'm trying to figure out the code..
I was recently using infrared sensor for a dispenser project. The issue is sunlight affects the reading of the sensor. does sunlight affect the sensors you show other than ir sensor?
Motion-tracking, or just distance-tracking? If you want to track an object that always remains within clear line-of-sight, I'd use a computer vision-based solution (e.g. marker- or marker-less tracking using OpenCV)
On the manure hauling: how much does it cost? How long does it take for you to make an average video? What is your average revenue per video? See where I am going? Rather then spend a week or 2 of your time doing that I but you could spend a couple days edit together another video and make more then enough to cover it
Hi! There's not much code to this one, tbh - you can see it all in the video! But if you want to download it, that's one of the perks for my Patreon subscribers.
?????????? PLEASE PLEASE - provide useful information such as a RASPBERRYPI telephone recorder. Wish not to have a WIN pc always on , instead a raspberry pi - or other option of a LOW power telephne recording device ???????????
Amazing stuff! Thanks for bringing this into my attention.
Wow, didn't know those boards existed. Gonna order a couple to play with.
just uploads these type of creative ideas for us amazing bro
For me this was a very useful video as I want to integrate nontouch switches into furniture I’m designing to control lights and other devices
Wow! Awesome, as usual. Thank you so much to bring us your knowledge and make our life a little more happy!!
Where can we download your code?
Thank you!!
Great !

Chris Martin doesn't only sing. He also makes something from Arduino.
Great video love the detail you go into

Just checked the data sheet, the low nibble defaults to F (hex) anyway, so no harm done.

Hello please send the sketch link. I can’t find it
So cool, I wonder how u connect the copper wire? Is it just a closed shape connected to a pin input?

where did you get the quick connectors for the wires? im trying to find some but there is so many
Can anybody help me?

The sensor is triggering with just the pin wiring what to do?

Excelent video, I was looking for something like this for a long time, just have a question, Can you share the code? please. Best.
I was recently using infrared sensor for a dispenser project. The issue is sunlight affects the reading of the sensor. does sunlight affect the sensors you show other than ir sensor?
do you know how to wire up led lights to the cap1188? a video would be awesome
Mind blowing!
which type of sensor would you recommend for close range motion tracking in 3D space? something a bit more accurate than this particular sensor..
Motion-tracking, or just distance-tracking? If you want to track an object that always remains within clear line-of-sight, I'd use a computer vision-based solution (e.g. marker- or marker-less tracking using OpenCV)
Can we have analog output or just 0 and 1?

Where can I find the download for the library?
same question here

Good...
I Subscribed👍
Would this work through 6mm glass?
Yes - glass has no significant capacitance, so shouldn't affect the reading if you were to increase the sensitivity to work at that distance.
😯Wow
Hello, just found this-! Can I buy you a cup of coffee or subscribe on patron for the code?
Thanks a bunch-!
