Circuit, code and information for the Pinoccio capacitive backpack
Here is the link to Pinoccio website.
To view layout and order backpack from OSH Park: Here
P-I-N-O touches uses following pins:
- A3, A4, A5, A6 (Send)
- D8 (Receive)
Slider uses following pins:
- A0, A1, A2 (Send)
- D2 (Receive)
P-I-N-O capacitive touches:
- Jump 4x resistors footprints R2 to R5 (See Circuit)
- Solder 4x 1MOhm resistors 0603 size onto C2 to C5 footprints (See Circuit)
- Download and install ArduinoCapSense library: Here
- Plug backpack and upload sketch CapTouch_PINO into your scout using Arduino IDE (nightly build recommended by Pinoccio)
- Press one of the capacitive touch P, I, N or O: RGB led lights up with different colors!
Slider:
- Jump 3x resistors footprints R7 to R9 (See Circuit)
- Solder 3x 1MOhm resistors 0603 size onto C7 to C9 footprints (See Circuit)
- Download and install ArduinoCapSense library: Here
- Plug backpack and upload sketch CapTouch into your scout using Arduino IDE (nightly build recommended by Pinoccio)
- Slowly move finger up and down on slider while pressing one of the capacitive touch P, I, N or O: RGB led brightness changes!
