Hello,
I am doing A-level electronics and have just started my coursework project. I wanted to try and design/build the kind of touch sensor that you can find on some lamps, where you come into contact with metal on the lamp and this turns the light on. I think that these work by sensing capacitence. I have looked online but can't seem to find much on this. Is there a simple-ish way of doing this, or is it not worth trying?
Many thanks,
Tom
