Description
Connect any surface, object, or space to the digital world. No technical ability or programming required to start. Create 12 unique sensors with any conductive material, including Bare Conductive® Electric Paint® (item #756468). The Touch Board® and Electric Paint® are essential parts of every maker’s toolbox, every educator’s top drawer, and every engineer’s lab to make projects interactive, responsive, smart, or just fun.
The Touch Board® and Electric Paint® turn almost anything into an interface, making them an incredible platform for innovation. Transform the 12 electrodes into sensors that trigger MP3 tracks or MIDI notes. Connect anything conductive such as Electric Paint®, conductive thread, wire leads, etc.
Kit includes guidebook, board, paint, and starter project supplies. Arduino® compatible. Note: Component colors may vary.
Starter projects included with the kit:
- Interactive Wall Graphic (Graphic Sensors)
- Give a Voice to Objects Around You (Objects As Sensors)
- Threshold Alarm (Sensing Spaces)
