Capacitive touch sensor for Arduino
-
Hey guys,
I am in a search of capacitive touch sensors. The functionalities I'm aiming at are
The capacitive touch should be able to recognize up, down and sideways slides on the Grid. Has anyone used the this type of module? If yes please do suggest me. Thanks in advance...!!

This can be done using captive grid. You can buy a touch pad

or you can make your own PAD
please refer 13th page of this documentation.
if you like to make one MPR121 is a nice choice

Design C is also good, -
@Akhil Thanks. I am not in a state to design my own capacitive touch so I am going with already made modules. But the one which you have posted is too very expensive for my application. Are there any other modules that are a bit more cheaper.

Hey @kowshik1729, why don't you use a five of the touch keys(shown below), form them up in the shape of a cross and get the sequential data across two of those sensors to detect a left/right or up/down swipe?

@SuperGops Woow that's a great idea...I shall try this out..!!

@kowshik1729 That is also Nice idea, If you want only Up,Down, Left, Right movements then try this method suggested by @SuperGops

Hi team,
Any one have experience in Altium schematic designing.
I am facing some issue in Hierarchy->harness in Schematic.
The offpage number for harness is not showing, and while generation the smart PDF if we click the harness port /green box the page want to go there automatically, but that also not working. -
Hi @dipu_varghese ,
Here is the sample input from the binary edge impulse inference,
Predictions (DSP: 16 ms., Classification: 1 ms., Anomaly: 2 ms.): idle: 0.91016 snake: 0.08203 updown: 0.00391 wave: 0.00391 anomaly score: -0.067”And from here for example we can try to get the updown values only by attaching the device to another controller and read the Serial string directly.
void setup() { // Start serial communication at 9600 baud Serial.begin(9600); } void loop() { // Wait until there is data available on the serial port while (!Serial.available()) { // Do nothing } // Read the input string from the serial port String inputString = Serial.readStringUntil('\n'); // Find the position of the "updown" value in the input string int updownPos = inputString.indexOf("updown:"); // If the "updown" value was found in the input string if (updownPos >= 0) { // Extract the "updown" value from the input string String updownString = inputString.substring(updownPos + 8, inputString.indexOf('\n', updownPos)); // Convert the "updown" value to a float float updownValue = updownString.toFloat(); // Output the "updown" value Serial.println(updownValue); } }The sketch should then output the "updown" value, which is 0.08203.
Hope this will be helpful, let me know if you need more clarification.
