1. Introduction The Q Touch Sensor is a high sensitivity and high noise immunity touch input device. It is based on Atmel AT42QT1070. The AT42QT1070 modulates its bursts in a spread-spectrum fashion in order to heavily suppress the effects of external noise, and to suppress RF emissions. The QT1070 uses a dual-pulse method of acquisition.
2. Specification Operating Voltage: 3 ~ 5.5V Operating Current 1mA for 3.3V operating voltage Touch Keys 7 Keys ; key0, key1, key2 are on the Grove PCB bottom side Communicating Protocol I2C Address 0x1B...
3. Interface function ①:On board touch key0 ②:On board touch key1 ③:On board touch key2 ④:Touch key0 ~ key6 break out The recommended range for key capacitance Cx is 1 pF – 30 pF. Larger values of Cx will give reduced sensitivity.
Now let's begin our demo. When you touch the hit pan (lychee), the LED will turn on. Hardware Connections Connect the I2C of Grove-Q Touch Sensor to the I2C socket on the Grove Base Shield. Connect the Grove-LED to D3 (Digital Pin 3) on the Grove Base Shield.
5. Software Part 1) Download the library [Q Touch Library]; 2) Unzip it into the libraries folder of Arduino IDE, for example the path could be ..\arduino- 1.0.5\libraries. Example 1: a) Open the example via Arduino Menu 'File -> Examples -> Seeed_QTouch-master -> isTouch'. b) Upload the code.

Example 2: a) Open the example via Arduino Menu 'File > Examples > Seeed_QTouch-master -> Grove_QTouch_demoCode..’ b) Upload the code. c) Open the Serial Monitor. d) Touch and release the Lychee; The Serial Monitor would display the duration of touch as in the screenshot below.
