One of the unusual features of the out-of-production Programmable Drum Set was its use of touch switches for control. Like most touch switches, these detect the difference in the capacitance of a plate when it is being touched by a finger versus the.... -
Our circuit is amplifying the current flowing through your finger (when it touches the touch plate) 10,000 times and this is sufficient to illuminate the LED. The current flowing through your finger (when touching the touch plate) is only a few microamps and.... -
his circuit can be used as an Infrared beam barrier as well as a proximity detector. The circuit uses the very popular Sharp IR module (Vishay module can also be used). The pin nos. shown in the circuit are for the Sharp & VIshay modules. For other modules.... -
Touch operated switches are an attractive project for DIY electronics but they are not so common in commercial products. The reason for this is that, although there are many different ways of implementing a touch switch (leakage, hum pickup, capacitance,.... -
This is a circuit thich I originally included in my book, 22 Tested Transistor Projects, published by Babani Press in 1976 (ISBN 0 900162 63 S). It is one I had great fun with. It uses the PUT Complimentary Feedback Pair as a sensitive detector of changing.... -
The circuit on the right uses three bipolar transistors to accomplish the same result with the touch contact referenced to the negative or ground end of the supply. Since the base of a bipolar transistor draws current and the current gain is usually less.... -
This week was spent completing a number of different objectives. Firstly, the software was downloaded to design the schematic for the circuit to be translated onto a PCB. Much of the week was spent doing tutorials and learning the user interface to make a.... -
This electronic circuit uses a 555 timer as the bases of the touch switch. You can learn more about 555 timers in the Learning section on my site. When the plate is touched the 555 timer is triggered and the output on pin 3 goes high turning on the LED and.... -
Using a CMOS IC TT8486A TT6061A you can build a very simple dimmer circuit which can be used to control intensity of an incandescent lamb by simply touch a contact. This electronic touch dimmer circuit can increase the light intensity of incandescent lamps.... -
In my previous post of capacitive touch switch, it gives the o/p as long as you touch it. Means it was only drive the load when you touch it, and when you remove your hand/finger then it was not able to drive the load. Tough that touch switch circuit can be.... -
The A2045 uses the same circuit as the A2052. Instead of mounting with three snap-top standoffs, as does the larger A2052 board, the more compact A2045 mounts by gluing it onto a rectangular flange that fits around the bottom side of the board. When glued.... -
The Proximity Camera Head (A2047) is a Long-Wire Data Acquisition ( LWDAQ ) Device that reads out a TC255P image sensor. It is a radiation-tolerant descendent of the Inplane Sensor Head ( A2036 ). We use the A2036 and A2033 most often with the LWDAQ.... -
In this Arduino-based project, we will build a lamp with multiple light displays: color sequencer, dimming light, color chaser, firelight all selected by a touch bar on the circuit board. We will be going the minimalist way for this project, filling the.... -
