LED brightness control through proximity sensor (wire)

LED brightness control through proximity sensor (wire)



video :

Videos and PCB photos of products that have already been released are as follows.

  1. Can you give a rough inference about the above circuit?
  2. It's amazing that it recognizes human touch. What is the principle?

Look for these words... to find the datasheet.

I guess you wanted us to look at your pictures.

  1. No
    1. probably capacitance
  2. Without a schematic and a link to the technical information it is only a guessing game. Post links, I do not bother looking up because I generally find several items and either guess which one or ask the OP for the link. Asking immediately helps as it is obvious you did not read the forum guidelines.

Thank you for answer. First off, here's what I found out:

  1. It seems to recognize hands through the touch sensor (capacitance).
  2. The LED is composed of RGB, and the brightness appears to be controlled through BJT.
  3. Touch sensor: I plan to use the 'AT42QT1012' chip.

    In the video, you can see that it reacts depending on the distance. In other words, I want the voltage output to vary depending on the distance.
    I am wondering how to configure the circuit of 'AT42QT1012'.

Look at the datasheet...
