The sensor forms an image and OpenCV detects the actual touch configuration. It appears you can use the raw data from the Arduino, too, but it might be a little harder.

And, since its pin compatible with most Arduino shields, you can add even more capabilities to the Touch Board for more complex projects.

10 Simple-But-Fun Projects to Make With Arduino John Boxall, author of the new book Arduino Workshop, shares a few of the projects from his book on how to get started with the microcontroller.

On the software side capacitive touch sensors can be as simple as using an Arduino library for the purpose but [John] rolled his own code, so give it a peek.

As much as we love the Arduino Uno, it's not the most powerful of hobbyist microcontrollers. Fortunately, the folks in Turin have just put the finishing touches on a 32-bit upgrade with buckets of ...

Seeking students for projects prototyping a set of self-powered embedded sensor systems for pervasive computing. These projects will sharpen your hardware and software skills.

The Arduino team, known for providing various electronic and microcontroller components for do-it-yourself electronic hobbyists since 2005, has announced its new product, the Plug and Make Kit.

Arduino by Example will show you how to get your hands dirty and create three projects: a home automation project, a robotic project, and a touch sensor project.

If you enjoy tinkering and building Arduino projects, you might be interested in a new range of products which have been specifically designed to add touchscreen LCD displays to your builds. The ...
