Metal Touch Sensor Module

Metal Touch Sensor Module features a KRS13 darlington NPN transistor, the signal of which is controlled by a circuit part of which integrated type LM393 inside which there are two comparators. When you touch the bare wire bent over the transistor, which is represented by the base of the transistor, the 50 Hz signal around us in a modern home or office is injected into a high gain amplifier.

The output of this amplifier is connected to a comparator, the sinusoidal AC signal is then converted to a square wave. Vein sensitivity adjustment by adjusting VR1 trimmer appropriately. If you look closely at the LED you will see a slight flicker, this is due to the output that is represented by a square wave of 50 Hz instead of constant value. Outputs a signal if the metal pike of the Sensor was touched. You can adjust the sensitivity of the sensor with the controller.

• Power supply: 3.3V or 5.5V
• Sensitivity: adjustable
• Sensor Type: analog and digital output
• Form Dimensions 34 x 16mm

Digital Out: At the moment of contact detection, a signal will be outputted.

Analog Out: Direct measuring value of the sensor unit.

LED1: Shows that the sensor is supplied with voltage

LED2: Shows that the sensor detects a magnetic field
