Metallic Touch Sensor Module KY-036

Description

What is it The Metallic Touch Sensor Module KY-036 is an electronic component designed to detect the presence of metallic objects or hands non-invasively through capacitive interaction. This sensor can be used in various Arduino projects where contactless touch control is required. Features Metallic touch sensitivity Optimized for non-invasive capacitive interactions What is it used for The KY-036 is ideal for creating capacitive triggers that can be used as manual control switches in electronic projects. You can connect it to a relay or other Arduino/ESP8266/ESP32 devices to control energy flow or other functions. Tutorial: How to use the Metallic Touch Sensor Module KY-036 The metallic touch sensor module KY-036 is an ideal component for human-machine interaction projects. With this device, you can create capacitive triggers that detect the presence of a hand or a metallic object without physical contact. What you need Arduino Uno USB cable Breadboard Jumper wires Steps Connect the KY-036 module to the breadboard. Connect the sensor output (OUT) to a digital pin on the Arduino (e.g., PIN 2). Connect VCC and GND of the sensor to the respective power pins of the Arduino. Download the Arduino IDE software and connect the Arduino to the computer via USB. Open a new sketch in Arduino IDE. Insert the provided example sketch to read values from the KY-036 sensor. Upload the sketch to your Arduino. Observe the behavior of the KY-036 sensor when touched with a metallic object or hand. Example code: const int touchPin = 2; // Digital pin connected to the KY-036 module void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); } void loop() { int valTouch = digitalRead(touchPin); // Reads the pin state if (valTouch == HIGH) { Serial.println(
