Gorillacell Module 036: Analog Touch Sensor

Table of Contents

The Analog Touch Sensor is a capacitive touch sensor that changes its capacitance when touched. This variation in capacitance is converted into an analog signal, allowing the sensor to detect different touch levels or positions.

The Gorillacell ESP32 Development Kit includes one Analog Touch Sensor module featuring four unique touch inputs on a single analog pin. Each touch area produces a distinct analog value, enabling multiple touch detections using only one input pin.

BASIC INFORMATION

Device Category Interface Chipset Description
Input Sensor Cell Analog - -

PINOUT

It has 3 pins which are

  1. G - for the ground pin,
  2. V - for the supply voltage, and
  3. S - for determining the analog value of the Analog Touch Sensor module.

An Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) peripheral will be used in order to determine which touch area is pressed.
