Spatial Synthesizer Kravox! Wireless, Motion- & Touch-Sensing

Leave a Comment / Wireless Projects / By

A New Kind of InstrumentI invented Kravox during a research project at Lund University (Sweden) with the aim to give digital musical instrument controllers the feeling of conventional, mechanical instruments. Now I want to make Kravox accessible as a musical experimentation platform for everyone, so I created this detailed Instructable to enable as many people …

Bucky Touch: Light-up Dodecahedron Instrument

Leave a Comment / Development Board – Kits Projects / By

About two years ago, I built a big 120 face LED geodesic dome that plays music with a MIDI output. However, it was a difficult build and the sensors weren’t completely reliable. I decided to build the Bucky Touch, a smaller version of my geodesic dome that is easier to construct and has upgraded capacitive touch sensors. …

ESP32 Capacitive Touch Input Using “Metallic Hole Plugs” for Buttons

Leave a Comment / Wifi - WLan Projects / By

As I was finalizing design decisions for an upcoming ESP32 WiFi Kit 32 based project requiring three button input, one noticeable problem was that the WiFi Kit 32 does not possess a single mechanical pushbutton, yet alone three mechanical buttons, for input. However, the WiFi Kit 32 does have plenty of capacitive touch inputs, so …

Capacitive Touch Sensor on Arduino

Leave a Comment / Sensor – Transducer – Detector Projects / By

If you ever wanted to integrate touch sensitivity into your project, this board could just do the trick. It’s a capacitive touch sensor. These sensors are used in our everyday consumer electronics like notebook trackpads, video game consoles, touchscreens…just to name a few. They work on the principle of alteration of the electrostatic field. The …

Induction sensors don’t need a touch, they’re satisfied by proximity

Leave a Comment / Electronics News Updates / By

Proximity sensors working on an induction principle are able to detect ferrous and non-ferrous metals very reliably. For those of you, who already work in this field, there´s everything clear for you probably and you know well, that induction sensors are literally one of the keystones for an industrial automation. For all of you, who´re …

Touch Control Panel using Arduino

Leave a Comment / Sensor – Transducer – Detector Projects / By

Small 4-wire resistive touchscreens are now amazingly cheap: they are produced in such enormous quantities for mobile phones, PDAs, and particularly handheld games such as the Nintendo DS that they can be bought brand new for under US$10. Larger touchscreens are also rapidly falling in price. The popularity of netbooks with screens between 7″ and …
