When a capacitive load is detected (e.g. a person touches one of the conductive contacts) the corresponding LED on the right lights up and the output pin goes low. You can use this to update an existing normal-button project where buttons connect to ground when pressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote that only one contact will be detected at once (this is to protect against having a hand brush against two or more contacts at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes with a fully assembled board, and a stick of 0.1\" header so you can plug it into a breadboard. For contacts, we suggest using copper foil, then solder a wire that connects from the foil pad to the breakout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.adafruit.com\/datasheets\/AT42QT1070.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eThe datasheet has many details on sensitivity, power usage, etc.\u003c\/a\u003e - note that this board uses the chip in 'standalone' mode only, it cannot be used in I2C mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.adafruit.com\/adafruit-capacitive-touch-sensor-breakouts\/downloads\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDatasheets, EagleCAD PCB files, Fritzing object and more available in the product tutorial\u003c\/a\u003e!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Adafruit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":335000264,"sku":"ADA1362","price":7.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0174\/1800\/products\/1362-04.jpg?v=1539264263","url":"https:\/\/shop.pimoroni.com\/en-eu\/products\/adafruit-standalone-5-pad-capacitive-touch-sensor-breakout","provider":"Pimoroni Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
