18. Prototype - Touch activated Light bulb

In this project, you will learn how to switch on a light bulb with just a touch. We will be using a Human Touch sensor (KY-036) and if you don't know how it works, feel free to look up the previous project.

*Precaution: Ensure safety when working with mains electricity. For beginners, I would recommend connecting the LED and 1kΩ resistor to the relay module as a prototype. The LED and power bank will substitute the lamp and the mains electricity respectively.

Supplies

  • Arduino Nano
  • Solderless Breadboard - Mini
  • Human Touch sensor (KY-036)
  • Relay Module
  • LED (any colour)
  • 1kΩ resistor
  • Male-to-male jumper wires (10cm)
  • Female-to-male jumper wires (20cm)
  • Power bank - 10000 mAh
  • USB 2.0 Type A to Mini B cable (For Arduino Nano)
  • USB 2.0 Type A cable (For power bank)

Setup 


For more information about the setup, please watch the YouTube video posted at the bottom of this page.

Connections


  • Relay Module - D5
  • Human Touch sensor - D3
  • (+) of Human Touch sensor - 5V
  • (-) of Human Touch sensor - GND

      You are not supposed to copy it. You should study and understand the codes before you implement them.

85. Analog and Digital Clock on Adafruit TFT Display using Arduino

 Hey everyone, Sorry I have not posted in a while. Today, I will be presenting you my Analog and Digital Clock on Adafruit TFT Display using Arduino. You can find the schematic and code explanation within this post. Read on further to learn how I did this project. Hardware components used in this project Arduino Mega 2560 Adafruit 2.8" TFT Touch Shield for Arduino w/ Capacitive Touch - You could also use any other Arduino compatible TFT display DS1307 RTC Module Solderless Breadboard - Half+ (This is optional if you are connecting the RTC module to the development board directly) Jumper wires (x4) - Male/Male jumper wires if using solderless breadboard. Female/Male if connecting RTC module directly to Arduino Mega. Software apps Arduino IDE - latest version is recommended Setup Connections DS1307 RTC Module SCL - A5 SDA - A4 VCC - 5V GND - Ground Adafruit TFT Touch shield You can simply place the Adafruit TFT Touch shield onto your Arduino Mega 2560 development board.
