Customer Questions & Answers
What advantages does this touch button offer over a traditional mechanical button in Arduino projects?
The touch button eliminates moving parts, increasing service life by reducing wear from repeated use. It also offers a faster and quieter response, although it lacks tactile feedback. It is ideal for applications where durability and appearance are priorities.
What are the exact dimensions and weight of the module, and what is included in the box?
The module measures 38.0 mm x 24.0 mm x 1.6 mm (PCB), with an approximate weight of 5-8 grams. The box usually includes only the module; cables or manuals may not be included depending on the distributor.
Which Arduino boards and voltages is the touch button compatible with, and what type of connectors does it use?
It is compatible with Arduino boards operating at 3.3 V or 5 V DC and standard 2.54 mm interfaces (3-pin) or 4-pin Grove connectors. It can be used with most commercial boards that support those voltages and connectors.
What maintenance do these touch sensors require, and what is their typical durability?
The touch button only requires occasional cleaning to prevent dust build-up on the touch surface. Its durability is high (over 1 million activations), as it has no mechanical contacts subject to wear.
What problems usually occur during installation or use, and how can they be resolved?
Common issues include incorrect pin connections and false triggers caused by electrical interference. It is recommended to check the connections, use short cables and, if unintended activations occur, fit a 10 kΩ pull-down resistor.
What voltage does the Arduino touch button work with?
The Arduino touch button works with a working and operating voltage of 3.3V or 5V DC.
Is this touch button compatible with kits like Lego or Makeblock?
Yes, it has standard M4 fixed holes that allow compatibility and mounting in Lego and Makeblock kits.
What interfaces does the Arduino touch button support?
It supports standard 2.54 3-pin and 4-pin Grove interfaces.
Is it easy for beginners to use?
Yes, it is plug and play, designed to be easy to use and connect in Arduino projects without complications.
