The $0.10 Microcontroller That Does It All: LCD, Touch, and USB We’ve seen LCDs with touch input before, but what if the LCD itself could be used as a touch sensor? That’s exactly what YouTuber CNLohr has accomplished with his latest project, combining a 7-segment LCD, USB functionality, and touch sensing—all powered by the ultra-affordable CH32V003 RISC-V microcontroller, AKA "The $0.10 RISC V microcontroller". The CH32V003 doesn’t natively support USB,… |

The Smart PanelIntroduction
The idea is to use the Sipeed Maxduino Board and an ESP8266 (Nodemcu) With the help of Platform IO and Ardunio Cloud/EspHome. The basics are to attach a four-channel relay and touch sensors hooked up to the NodeMCU board, making it a smart switch unlike other smart switches, which look and feel the same. This switch has some extra features that make it… |

Build Your Own Capacitive Touch Sensor to Control Home Appliance using ESP32 In many cases, ESP32 capacitive touch sensors are used instead of push buttons. The advantage is that we don't have to provide force to press a button, and we can activate a key without touching it using touch sensors. Touch-sensing technology is becoming popular day by day. And within the last decade or so, it has become difficult to imagine the world without touch-… |
