Hi, I'm new and a I speak (and write) a bad english, but I'll try to make me understand. For my degree project in Product Design, I'm trying to use an e-textile as a botton: I have two pieces of e-textile divided but connected with a circuit as + and -, and I would like to try close the circuit using my finger as a bridge.
Is it possibile to transfer electricity in this way?
The finger doesn't conduct much so you can't really use it to complete a circuit like that.
The CapSense library (Arduino Playground - HomePage) will let you use a conductive patch as a touch sensor. I don't know how well that will work if the conductive patch is close to the body. May require extra insulation on the inside of the garment.
