Might be useful to someone some day. I was almost glad the touch board was blown - I wasn't too keen on the board always being active and waiting for a touch. R1 would get quite warm even when the lamp was off.jim hardy said:
That's interesting. I have several table lamps to which I've added touch sensor modules . Local Ace hardware store carries one that fits nicely in the base. Great for when I'm stumbling around in the dark.Guineafowl said:
A touch lamp circuit works by using sensors to detect changes in electrical capacitance when a person touches the lamp. When the lamp is touched, the sensors send a signal to a control unit, which then activates the lamp.
Yes, it is possible to build your own touch lamp circuit with the right tools and knowledge. There are many tutorials and guides available online that can help you create your own touch lamp circuit.
The materials needed to make a touch lamp circuit include a control unit, sensors, wires, a power source, and a lamp. You may also need other tools such as a soldering iron and a multimeter.
Yes, touch lamp circuits are designed to be safe to use. The electrical current used in these circuits is very low and poses no harm to humans. However, it is always important to follow proper safety precautions when working with electronics.
Yes, a touch lamp circuit can be used with most types of lamps as long as they are compatible with the electrical current and voltage of the circuit. It is always important to check the specifications of your lamp before using it with a touch lamp circuit.
