Making an Arduino Touch Sensitive LED Sign
Making an Arduino Touch Sensitive LED Sign
I love to work with electronics. In the near future I’m going work on a dedicated place for all the electronics work I do. To decorate this place I would like to build all kinds of cool stuff and gadgets. For starters I build this Arduino Touch Sensitive LED Sign.
Some time ago I found the Arduino capacitive touch library. Immediately I could think of several cool applications. For this project I use an Arduino Nano to detect when the sign is touched. I programmed a ON/OFF function and when the sign is touched for a couple of seconds the colour changes. When releasing the sign the present colour is selected.
A new experience with this Arduino Touch Sensitive LED Sign project, was polishing aluminium. I used five different grits of sanding paper and two polishing compounds. Getting this mirror finish took a good three hours. Maybe some good polishing equipment can help to speed thing up
.Although the engraving isn’t spot on, I’m happy with the result of the Arduino Touch Sensitive LED Sign. I’m sure it will look great when the new workshop is finished !

void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
cs_4_2.set_CS_AutocaL_Millis(0xFFFFFFFF); // turn off autocalibrate on channel 1 - just as an example
Serial.begin(9600);
strip.begin();
