Hi Mario!i'm sorry for your loss,also i like your energy and i subs,i'm 52 and beginning a journey to electronics arduino sounds and lights stuff,i'm happy to find you,good luck an take care!!
The feeling is surreal. You had someone close to you-one moment they were there, and the next, they're gone. The void they leave behind is something that can never truly be filled
@@marios_ideas My heart goes out to you sincerely. Even though we're strangers to one another, I feel your pain. May we all find peace and acceptance when the inevitable happens. 💜
For the red ttp223 module I have it set so neither A or B are soldered but when I connect a LED it is always on until I touch the sensor which then turns it off
And also better to know, what i did is , i can control touch sensor with audrino, and audrino with touch sensor.... So audrino itself can save power when task is finished....
Hello I am trying to use the TTP223 as a switch for 2 LED meteor lights ( 3v 20ma each) I tried this with the red TTP223 and they are not very bright, and now I am learning its output is only about 8ma. on the red sensor. Does the lighted plastic/glass ttp223 have a higher output? Also is the plastic lighted sensor less prone to interference? I have also learned that you can either change the resistor for the onboard LED (again the red sensor listed last) to lower the current draw of the switch, but would this also increase its output? Thank you.
To drive LEDs requiring higher current, you'll need to use the TTP223 to control a switching device, such as a MOSFET or BJT, that can handle the required current. Check th-cam.com/video/XiOcxyyTxy4/w-d-xo.html
@@marios_ideas Thank you so much for your reply. I looked up the description on the second switch you reviewed (lit up glass switch) and it says output voltage "3.3v, max currant 500ma" I believe this would be perfect for driving the (2) 3v meteor leds needing 20ma each with out any need for additional components. thoughts?
I have wondered if there is a way to add a signal to these touch sensors to toggle them from an arduino. Operaton would be - activate to latch output and power an arduino - at end of operation, arduino toggle touch switch to drop output and kill power to arduino I have used bi-stable flip flop switches but this touch sensor would be useful if it could be toggled via arduino and if it could handle the power for the arduino.
Not sure I understand your question. If you connect the touch sensor to the same power supply and connect output to 5v pin of the Arduino and also connect Gnd pin of Arduino to negative side of power supply then you will be able to power Arduino this way. We are of course talking about self latching sensor here
@@marios_ideas After powering the arduino and running the operation I want to power down the arduino. Disconnect the power by toggling the touch switch by action of the arduino. Power itself down.

Amazing video mate
Great video. I have a few of the white square touch buttons. I going to use them in a circuit bending project. Thank you for your video.
I'm really sorry for your loss.I never recovered from losing my dad
