Phidget Touch Sensor
Much cooler than a standard switch, this capacitive touch sensor can detect a simple tap of
a finger. Great for making interactive art projects or slick form factor designs. It can also detect a touch through plastic, glass, paper.
24inch sensor cable included.
This sensor plugs into an analog input on the 8/8/8, but its output is
digital. The sensor's output is 5V normally, and 0V when the sensor is
touched. This sensor will work through 1/4" of glass.
This sensor will not report any "middle" values. It only has two essential states: High and Low.
Board Dimensions: 3.0 x 3.8 cm
Mounting Holes: 2.4 x 3.0 cm
