Touchless Keypad
Ernst Nga shares their DIY capacitive proximity sensors with aluminium foil and capacitive sensing library on instructables.
Touch interfaces such as elevators buttons can potentially aid in the transmission of pathogens. Inspired by the COVID-19 pandemic, I decided to build a prototype of touchless keypad. By implementing Arduino Capsense Library, capacitive proximity sensors are made with aluminium foil and high value resistors. As this setup normally functions as a touch sensing device, several modifications are implemented to increase the sensor’s sensitivity for proximity sensing, which will be highlighted in this article.
