QTouchShield for Arduino

Introduction to the project

The QTouchShield for Arduino project aims to design a hardware platform for the Arduino MEGA that supports up to 32 configurable capacitive touch inputs.

The inputs can be configured as:

• Buttons
• Sliders
• Wheels
• Proximity sensors

Additionally the project includes the necessary firmware required by the shield's microcontroller to enable this functionality.

Key Capabilties

• Support up to 32 capacitive touch inputs supporting:
  • up to 8 sliders/wheels
  • up to 32 buttons
  • up to 32 proximity sensors
• Configuration via SPI or UART (RX/TX) interfaces
• Arduino library to simplify integration into sketches
