Touch pHAT
PIM272
Six touch-sensitive buttons to use for whatever your heart desires, with added LEDs (did
you expect anything less?)
Touch pHAT has six capacitive touch buttons, each with a bright white LED, designed to be
completely agnostic about what they're used for. You can even use a dry erase pen to write on
the pads to label their function.
It uses the CAP1166 capacitive touch and LED driver chip. The LEDs have been under-mounted
and shine through exposed sections of the PCB to give a pleasing yellow-green glow and a
completely smooth top surface!
Use Touch pHAT as a controller for your robot, a controller for your Mote lights, a tiny drum
machine, or use it to build a simple game where you have to taps the buttons to repeat the
sequence of lights that just flashed.
