Capacitive Touch Key

This key is based on the M0UKD Capacitive Touch Key described at:

https://m0ukd.com/homebrew/capacitive-cw-touch-key-circuits/

I modified the PCB to have through hole pads for the wiring.

This PCB can be ordered from OSH Park:

Questions

How big is the 2001captchpad PCB?

It measures 48.5 × 34.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the 2001captchpad use?

21 parts, built around the AT42QT1011-MAH and IRFML8244TRPBF. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the 2001captchpad KiCad files?

From the km4nfq/capacitive-touch-key repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is 2001captchpad.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the 2001captchpad design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask km4nfq before reusing the design.
