DFRobot SEN0437 Bare Conductive Printed Sensor (Set of 3) are flexible paper sensors that have been screen printed using Electric Paint. These devices are perfect for quick testing, modifying, and integrating touch and proximity sensors. The DFRobot SEN0437 sensors are sealed with a water-proof varnish to protect from humidity and smudging. Sixteen exposed access nodes allow easy connection to capacitive electrodes, like those on the Touch Board, Pi Cap, and Light Up Board. Below are five ways to use the Printed Sensors.
The pattern of the Printed Sensors is ideal for proximity sensing projects using our Touch Board, Pi Cap, or Light Up Board. The user can connect the Printed Sensors to a board with crocodile clips or cold soldering through one of the exposed 16 access nodes. This feature allows the user to build proximity prototypes quickly, approach the sensors to change the light of an LED, or adjust the volume.
Of course, the user can also use the Printed Sensors as touch sensors. Because the sensors are sealed, the devices are resistant to smudging and water. So if the user is making a paper light switch, using the Printed Sensors will mean the switch should last the user a long time.
The Printed Sensors have 16 exposed nodes, which the user can connect to various boards. That means the user can cut a single Printed Sensor sheet into 16+ individual small sensors, depending on the size. This feature is great when the user wants to quickly make small or custom-sized sensors for boards – no drying time necessary. Get creative and cut shapes like arrows to be used as buttons for games.
The seal on the Printed Sensors allows the user to bend the paper as needed. When the user previously tried to bend the Electric Paint, chances are it might have cracked. But with the Printed Sensors, the user can now create 3D shapes, like small pyramids or cubes.
The user can use the Printed Sensors with our Touch Board, Pi Cap, or Light Up Boards, but the user can also connect the sensors to any other device that uses the conductive sensor. For example, the user can connect the sensors to a Makey Makey board. The user can cut out arrows or a cursor from the sensors and connect them to the Makey Makey with crocodile clips.
