Title: Easy touch hack
Post by: Visus on January 03, 2014, 04:11:03 AM
New ecigs have a new touch system the button and hopefully the circuit will be really  cool for hackable ego mods.  Its only 5 bucks for 650mah bat,  I may investigate this,  I still enjoy the ego's..

it is just a switch after all..

Yep, its unbelievable how long it took them to use a touch unit.   


Not just a switch, its a whole circuit waiting to be unified with power..  :idea:  :laughing:

well this i have to agree,,,

I hate bottom switches, touch or not.  In any case, it's not a stretch to add a touch trigger to any device with an MCU.  The latest MCU's typically have a CTMU (charge time measurement unit) built into them which provides the required functionality for a capacitive touch sensor.  Actually kind of surprised I'm about the only one I've seen building the capacitive type into a mod.  People are doing the resistive type with a MOSFET, but the capacitive ones work a lot better and they only require one contact point.  I think the latest Atmel MCUs have a CTMU so for those using Arduino, shouldn't be a big deal to add a touch trigger.

We all cannot thank ya enough Craig
You has' the teaching thing down of extraterrestrial mentals in electronics mon..
Professor is you...  Ya should be behind a classroom full..  If only could look over your shoulder do it apprentice styling.  All do and no idea what is doing works for me, have been doing that for years..
