Hi all, recently i've been experimenting with different sensors. i've noticed something strange. first let me explain my connections and parts.
Here are what I'm using:
1- Arduino Wemos D1 mini
2- a general digital touch sensor (capacitive)
3- 2-pin LED
4- 20x4 LCD + LCD I2C TWI SP Interface
5- 4-pin push button (ON/OFF LCD backlight)
also attached a Fritzing board sketch.
here is my simplified code :

void updateTS(){

tscurrentState = digitalRead(tspin);
if (tscurrentState != tslastState) { lastDebounceTime = currentMillis; }
if ((currentMillis - lastDebounceTime) >= debounceDelay) {
if (tscurrentState != tsState) {
tsState = tscurrentState;
if (tsState == HIGH) {
toggleLED();
}
}
}
tslastState = tscurrentState;
}
so strange thing is, whenever i push the button, i does the job it suppose to, but then touch sensor lit up and toggle the LED on/off. i'm really confused.
could someone please explain whats going on?
thanks in advance.
