16 Channel Capacitive Touch Sesnor Module uses the touch-sensing IC TTP229 to sense the touch input thus making it easy to add capacitive touch input to your project. The touching detection IC is designed for replacing traditional direct button key with diverse pad size. The module has 16 touch pads. Power the module with 2.4 ~ 5.5V DC and the touch pad is all active to sense the input.
 
Sixteen Channel Capacitive Touch Sensor Module is easy to interface. It can be used along with a microcontroller or an Arduino or even without one. When a capacitive load (such as a human hand) is in close proximity to the sense-pad, the sensor detects the change in capacitance and activates the switch. Custom sense-pads can be made from nearly any conductive material and these sensors can detect touch through thin layers of non-conductive materials such as glass, plastic, fabric or even wood.
