Touch Sensor Capacitive Touch Switch Module TTP223B

The Touch Sensor Capacitive Touch Switch Module TTP223B is a touch detection device utilizing the TTP223B touch detection IC. Operating as a jog-type capacitive touch switch, it detects finger presence, toggling from low to high output when touched. In low-power mode by default, it activates upon touch and reverts to low-power mode if untouched for 12 seconds. Suitable for installation on plastic, glass, and non-metallic surfaces, it serves as a hidden button alternative for applications like walls and desktops, excluding surfaces with thin metal sheets.

Sample Project:

Circuit:

  • Arduino Uno
  • Capacitive Touch Sensor
  • LED
  • 680 Ohm Resistor
  • Jumper Wires

Library:

No external library is required for this module to function.

Code:

int led = 7;

void setup() {
  pinMode(led, OUTPUT);
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  int cap_reading = analogRead(A0);
  float volt_reading = (5.0 / 1023.0) * cap_reading;
  Serial.print(volt_reading);
  Serial.println(" Volts");

  if (volt_reading > 1.5) {
    digitalWrite(led, HIGH);
  } else {
    digitalWrite(led, LOW);
  }

  delay(20);
}

Notes:

  • This module should not be covered with thin sheets of metal or conductive materials, as it may interfere with the capacitive sensing.
