The Bare Conductive Touch Board turns conductive materials — paint, tape, thread, or foil — into touch-sensitive inputs. With 12 capacitive electrodes, you can create interactive surfaces, painted instruments, and touch-activated triggers using almost any conductive material.

Arduino-at-Heart and compatible with Arduino Leonardo shields and code, the Touch Board comes pre-programmed to play MP3 files from an SD card when electrodes are touched. It also includes an onboard LiPo battery charger for portable projects, and can be reprogrammed via the Arduino IDE for custom applications.
