## Description

The M5Stack 16-Key Capacitive Touch Unit is a Makey Makey-inspired input device built around an ATmega328P microcontroller. It detects capacitive touch across 16 key pads, allowing you to turn everyday objects — fruit, foil, water, or anything conductive — into touch-sensitive buttons. A built-in buzzer provides audio feedback for each key press. The unit connects to M5Stack Core devices via the Grove A port (I2C, address 0x51) and is programmable using Arduino IDE or UIFlow (Blockly/Python). Two Lego-compatible mounting holes are included for easy integration into builds. Key Features 16 Capacitive Touch Keys – Each key responds to conductive objects or skin contact ATmega328P Controller – Onboard processing with upgradeable firmware Built-in Buzzer – Audio tone feedback for each key (fruit piano, etc.) Grove A (I2C) – Connects to M5Stack Core via I2C at address 0x51 Multi-Platform Development – Arduino IDE and UIFlow (Blockly/Python) Lego Compatible – Two mounting holes for Lego integration Pin Mapping (Grove A) GPIO22 – SCL GPIO21 – SDA 5V – Power GND – Ground Ideal For Fruit pianos and interactive music projects Creative input devices using everyday objects STEM education and capacitive touch experiments M5Stack-based interactive installations Package Contents 1× 16-Key Capacitive Touch Unit (MEGA328P) 1× Grove cable Resources Makey Firmware (GitHub) Arduino Example Code (GitHub) UIFlow Example (GitHub)
