This touch-able add-on HAT for Raspberry Pi offers a captivating gateway into interactive projects with its 12 capacitive touch sensors. Capacitive touch sensing effectively identifies contact with sensor electrodes, enabling your devices to react to human touch.
With applications spanning from touch-reactive tablets to appliance control panels, this HAT allows up to 12 individual touch responses. Simply use alligator clip cables to connect these sensors to electrically conductive materials like metal or even water-laden items such as fruits and vegetables.
The straightforward setup involves running a Python library code to detect touches. Advanced users can opt for soldering to create a more permanent and sleek connection. Compatible with most Raspberry Pi models featuring a 2x20 connector, it's perfectly suited for an array of applications.
With examples available for transforming touches into keyboard inputs or audio triggers, you can craft a novel veggie keyboard or fruit drum set. Each kit includes a Capacitive Touch HAT and a 2x20 socket header, though you'll need a soldering iron and rosin core electronics solder for quick assembly.
Please note, the kit excludes Raspberry Pi, alligator clips, speakers, or any delectable fruits, although these are available separately except for the fruit.
