This sensor has been replaced by the
Touch v1.4.1.
A sensor no one should do without. Contact pressure provides continuous control.
Senses from 1 N (0.1 Kg, 0.2 lb) all the way upto 100 N (10 Kg, 23 lb) on a square surface of
37.5 mm (1.48 inch) x 37.5 mm (1.48 inch). And look, it's part of a family:
TouchMicro,
TouchMini,
TouchStrip and
TouchGlove.
See this videoclip for a demo !
Application examples
- Can be easily worn or applied to a variety of flat surfaces.
Blow Laurie Anderson, Marillion and others away. Trigger those samples!
- Use as touch controller, eg. for synthesizer
- Create a fancy control panel by combining with
SlideWide,
SlideLong,
Push2D,
TouchMiniOn and
Reach sensors, to name a few.
