Arduino Uno Metal Touch Sensor Module
This project demonstrates how to use an Arduino Uno to interface with a metal touch sensor module.
The sensor detects the presence of a touch on a metal surface and outputs a signal that the Arduino reads and displays on the Serial Monitor.
Components Needed
- Arduino Uno
- Metal Touch Sensor Module
- Jumper Wires
- Breadboard
Block Diagram
Hardware Wiring Explanation:
Connect Metal Touch Sensor Module to Arduino Uno:
Connect the signal output pin of the sensor module to digital pin 2 on the Arduino Uno.
Ensure the VCC pin of the module is connected to 5V on the Arduino Uno.
Connect the GND pin of the module to GND on the Arduino Uno.
Wire up the metal touch sensor module to the Arduino Uno according to the circuit setup section.
Software (Arduino IDE):
Open the Arduino IDE and create a new sketch.
Copy and paste the provided Arduino code into the sketch.
Upload the code to the Arduino Uno.
Project Operation:
Open the serial monitor with a baud rate of 9600.
Touch the metal surface detected by the sensor and observe the messages on the Serial Monitor indicating whether metal touch is detected or not.
Applications
Notes
Ensure the metal touch sensor module is positioned correctly and the sensitivity is adjusted as per requirements.
Adjust the code logic or use additional components based on specific project needs, such as debounce circuitry for noisy environments.
Test the module in the intended application environment to verify functionality and reliability.
