Thin-Sheet Sensors

Here are the final product of touch sensors. (Please scroll to read more:)

This is how the sensor looks like before it is sealed.

The copper-tape conductors of two ends are designed as in picture. The QTC-sheet is placed facing onto the copper cathode and anode.

Then the paper is folded and pressure is applied onto the sheet (either sides), the QTC sheet increases conductivity.

After the sensors are tested, they are sealed with insulated tape. At this state, the sensors are ready to be used.

The sensors can also be sealed inside plastic bag to prevent sweat and moisture.
However, the sensitivity of sensors are better without plastic shields.

Caution: the unevenness of the copper surface and QTC sheet contact may cause noises for sensor readings. Therefore, it is important not to deform the shape of sensors.


The readings of the sensors from "Data-Loggin" User Interface.
