The force resistor itself is some kind of a button that can determine when someone touch it. A lot of an electronics projects this module is useful to make and great control devices Arduino, Raspberry pi. So, in this tutorial we will know everything about ttp223 module from very initial level to the end of advance features. At the end, you will have a quite good idea how this astonishing module works and what are ways that you can benefit form it in your work as well.
Capacitive Touch Sensor is a type of button that works when we enter the field on which it reacts, i.e. our bodies generate an electric charge and this concept can be observed in different designs or situations by using various physics principles and formulas. When we touch this sensor, the change in electric charge can be detected (it senses our presence!) and it then sends a signal to another tiny computer called “microcontroller.” Then the microcontroller can respond to this touch by doing something; for example, turn on a light or start up a motor. The ttp223 module is fairly common and hence can be adapted to perform many tasks.
It has a small size, and can be easily embedded in other applications. There are 4 of so called pin ( power, ground, output and threshold ) that connects itself to other part. The power Pin is used to provide the module with power, and ground pin connects it over a common ground of the circuit. The OUTPUT PIN is very crucial as it transmits a signal to the microcontroller if touch detected. The threshold pin is then given a value that affects how easily the module picks up on touches. That is you are able to adjust as needed the extent of difficulty between someone touching it or being sensed.
Connecting the custom touch panel to a microcontroller such as an Arduino or Raspberry Pi That is done by connecting power and ground pins to the correct locations on your microcontroller. Once you do that, the output pin is connected to a digital input pin on your microcontroller. With everything connected we will write a simple code which tells the microcontroller to keep listening for touch. When it senses a touch, then you can do something cool like turn on a light or sound.
However it is very sensitive to static electricity but not matter what always remember this thing when ever using the ttp223 module as an attempt. Such static electricity can result from things like rubbing your feet on a carpet or wearing certain types of clothing. Because of this you should always ground yourself before touching the module. Practically put this implies grounding yourself by either touching some ground connected metal or object to discharge any built up static. Also, try not to stand up when the module is used close to something static electricity can build-up on such as certain fabric or carpet.
To do this, first connect ttp223 module to Arduino or Raspberry Pi as explained earlier. Además, deberás conectar un LED y una resistencia a la salida digital del microcontrolador Asegúrate de que el otro extremo del LED y la resistencia vaya al suelo. Last but not least we can then write a small program listening for the touch signal. When a touch is detected, the module will turn on LED and when you touch again it turns off led. This will give you a very interesting touch sensor circuit that is impressive and simple to use following this project!!
Some Tips on Using the ttp223 Module You may want to take advantage of some advanced features as you become more comfortable with using a touch module like that. For instance, you can use the threshold pin for altering how responsive to touch the module is. You may find yourself wanting the sensor to act differently condition depending. You can also use multiple ttp223 modules in a single project to have complete touch buttons, e. g more interactive interfaces than what you could do with just one button per key.
