KY-036 Metal Touch Sensor Module
Overview:
The KY-036 Touch Sensor Module is a touch-sensitive module designed to detect contact with conductive surfaces, such as human skin or metal. It uses capacitive sensing technology to register changes in capacitance when touched, allowing it to output both analog and digital signals. This module is commonly used in user-interactive projects, touch-sensitive interfaces, and applications requiring a simple trigger or activation mechanism. It is compatible with microcontroller platforms like Arduino and Raspberry Pi.
