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

Recently, I got a chance to work work the SeeedStudio T1000 tracker and I made a tracker and data logger with it. It comes with a LoRa module to transmit the data and has an inbuilt temperature and light sensor. The device is very easy to set up and get-started and I can say the experience of switching from different LoRa network servers is very pleasant and straightforward, same for the integration. I chose Ubidots to visualise the data captured.
I also like the mobile application very much, it’s so easy to pair and change the tracker configuration on the go. I love it.
I will experiment more and share my insights here. let me know if you want to know any specific details about the SenseCAP T1000.
It’s live on Kickstarter and you can pledge for $29 for single T1000 tracker, you will get 1 piece T1000 with 3 months of free trial service on the SenseCAP platform. Take a look : https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/seeed/sensecap-t1000-track-what-you-care-with-no-boundaries

@dipu_varghese Hi, How does it go? Would like to know about the updates
or anything I can do to help you. -
@zainmuhammed Oh that's cool. Let me also take a look at the stability analysis of a drone and get back to you.

@salmanfaris I'm building a payload-releasing drone under 2kg (micro class). and the entire structure builds using carbon fiber and ABS plastic.
