"musicTouch is the future" Anonymous
I have started to work on my musicTouch product. I have set up a design to begin testing the product.
Using the code found on instrucables.com I have set up a breadboard with wires connecting to the Arduino. I am using the capacitative touch sensors on the Arduino to make my buttons. I simply drew on a piece of paper using Bare Paint's conductive paint and connected a paperclip attached to a wire (which is attached to the Arduino) to the drawing and when you touch the drawing the circuit is completed.
Below are videos and a picture of my set up. The picture shows the connections - note: a one megohm resistor is being used between the connection of the Arduino to the paper. This is to ensure that the capacitative touch sensor is sensitive enough to detect a simple touch of a finger.
