Summary of FINAL Touch sensor with arduino
This project implements an advanced touch sensing system using Arduino and Processing software. It integrates capacitive sensing with inductive components to detect interactions, diverging from standard water bottle methods by utilizing a coil/inductor. The setup involves custom library installation for both platforms to facilitate real-time graphing and interaction data visualization.
Parts used in the Advanced Touch Sensor:
