Read More…Small, simple capacitive proximity sensor board, based on the MTCH101 proximity sensor IC. It works off of 2v to 5.5v. The MTCH101 is a proximity sensor, and it's sensitivity can be adjusted using the small potentiometer on board - with low sensitivity, it will act like a touch sensor. The output is open drain, and pullup resistor is included on board. The touch input can be connected to anything conductive. This is a major difference from most touch or proximity sensor boards available - most of them simply use a patch of copper on the board as the sensor, leaving no way to make an external connection. This greatly understates the capability of this part - you can use anything conductive. This has particular potential in electronic art and sculpture applications.
Sold assembled - just add wires (or pins) and sensor!
Note that several pictures above show more than one sensor. The price is per single sensor.
The conductive sensor can be any conductive object, but it must be electrically connected to the Sense pin on the board. The sensor can be as simple as a wire (with or without insulation), or you can use pieces of foil, screen, etc. The size of this conductor has a great impact on the sensitivity. The larger the sensor, the more sensitive it is - though very large sensors can also result in false positives. I have had good results with things ranging in size from tiny pieces of wire to soda cans. The wire between the board and the conductive material used as the sensor should be as short as possible, as it will also act as part of the sensor. For best results, take advantage of the small size of the board to place it as close to the desired sensing area as possible.

International orders have been suffering long delays due to COVID-19 - please check your country at https://about.usps.com/newsroom/service-alerts/international/ and make sure that I can ship to you, and that you are okay with any delays. There may be additional information available from your national postal service. Some customers have reported packages being delayed in transit by over a month. We cannot offer any sort of guarantees regarding international shipments at this time; we apologize for the inconvenience, and are looking into shipping internationally through UPS.
Please be sure that the address given to Tindie is accurate, and includes your street name and number - company name is only required if shipping to a commercial address. International orders require a valid phone number.
Domestic packages that go more than 1 week without a tracking update will be presumed lost in the mail and refunded or reshipped as buyer prefers. Any international packages can be delayed in customs without warning for 2 weeks or more. After 1 month without a tracking event (2 months to South and Central America - insane delays in those nations are commonplace), we will reship or refund a missing order (as you prefer). COVID-19 update: Some countries have stopped processing incoming international mail entirely -we will cancel orders to countries which we know are not processing international mail at all. This may also cause longer than usual shipping times - we are not responsible for such delays.
We do not open inquiries through the postal service - experience has shown this to be futile.
We ship all orders via USPS. UPS will be added as an option in the near future, I hope. We do all shipping through Stamps.com, and they offer me UPS, but all addresses are rejected as invalid, and I have emailed support numerous times and have had zero response. So at present, we cannot entertain requests to ship through other carriers.
