Touch Board kit combines an Arduino heart with touch sensors, conductive paint

November 12th - via: engadget.com
Capacitive sensing isn't limited to your smartphone. In fact, you can use contact with human skin (or any other conductive surface) to trigger almost any circuit. And the Touch Board from Bare Conductive wants you to combine your DIY spirit with the ability to turn practically any surface into a sensor. At the heart is an Arduino compatible microcontroller (based on the Leonardo) with a few extras baked in, including a Freescale touch sensor connected to 12 electrodes and an audio processor for triggering MIDI sounds or MP3 files. (Read More)

Best inventions for November

November 8th - via: innovation.uk.msn.com
Touch Board is a project developed by Bare Conductive here in the UK, enabling you to bring interactivity to almost any surface. At the heart of the invention is the Touch Board itself, a Arduino-compatible circuit board that can run a motor, play a sound or link to another bit of gadgetry. You can use the device to create a piano on a table, or paint a light switch on your wall, or create an automatic doorbell that rings whenever someone walks by. Check out the video on the Kickstarter project page to get a feel for all the different capabilities of the unit. (Read More)
