Touch Board

The Touch Board is a microcontroller board with dedicated capacitive touch and MP3 decoder electrodes

Straight out of the box, the Touch Board is pre-programmed to turn any conductive object into a sensor or switch to play sounds stored on the included microSD card. It can be re-programmed via the Arduino IDE so you can customize the function of the 12 capacitive touch and proximity sensors.

Create smart surfaces by connecting any conductive materials to your Touch Board. Use the Touch Board to bring your ideas to life. Create interactive murals, sophisticated prototypes or playful projects.

The Touch Board is a microcontroller board with dedicated capacitive touch and MP3 decoder ICs. It has a headphone socket and micro SD card holder (for file storage), as well as having 12 capacitive touch electrodes. It is based around the ATmega32U4 and runs at 16MHz from 5V. It has a micro USB connector, a JST connector for an external lithium polymer (LiPo) cell, a power switch and a reset button.

It is similar to the Arduino Leonardo board and can be programmed using the Arduino IDE. The ATmega32U4 can appear to a connected computer as a mouse or a keyboard, (HID) serial port (CDC) or USB MIDI device.
