PiicoDev® Capacitive Touch Sensor CAP1203

This is the repo for the Core Electronics PiicoDev Capacitive Touch Sensor CAP1203.

PiicoDev Capacitive Touch Sensor by Core Electronics

The PiicoDev® Capacitive Touch Sensor gives your project three touch pads to use as inputs. This is an effective way to introduce control inputs to your project. Get creative and use other items as touch plates using PCB headers or the alligator clip connection holes.

  • 3 Capacitive Touch Sensor inputs
  • Supports simultaneous touch events
  • Programmable sensitivity
  • Automatically calibrates at powerup
  • Activity LED shows interrupt events
  • PiicoDev connector, compatible with Qwiic and STEMMA QT (3.3V only)
  • 2.54mm breakout for breadboarding/prototyping
  • Manufactured and supported in Australia by Core Electronics
