Getting to Know the TP223 Capacitive Touch Sensor
Original: 📰 Getting to Know the TP223 Capacitive Touch Sensor Mechanical and prone to failure, switches can seem quaint these days
Hackaday has published an introduction to the TP223 capacitive touch sensor, arguing that mechanical switches, being prone to failure, look increasingly quaint. The piece notes that people are now accustomed to touch screens on phones and other devices, making touch-based controls a natural choice for hobbyist electronics projects that want to move beyond physical buttons.
Why now: Electronics hobbyists are discussing a cheap, simple module that lets makers replace unreliable mechanical buttons with touch controls.
