Touch Sensor
In this simulation, students explore how a Touch Sensor detects human touch. They can connect the sensor to a power supply and an LED module, then touch the sensor pad to observe how the LED responds. This activity introduces the basics of touch sensing and demonstrates how touch sensors are used in smart switches, security systems, and interactive electronic devices.
