Capacitive Touch LED dimmer/Switch Module

This is a wonderful LED switch module which uses touch and also works as a dimmer!
It has four modes (but the settings will disappear once you power off)
1. 3-stage brightness level
2. Fade up to set brightness & fade down from set brightness
3. Fade up to maximum brightness and fade down to zero
4. Normal On/Off
The best part is that it uses 2.5volts to 4.5volts and can output up 500mA! And looking at the PCB, the notes said you can add a capacitor for various surface thickness and material. Plus, you can even solder your own 2cm x 3cm touch plate too.

Thank you sir for feed back i will buy this

[@ninadtalekar1878]

Ohhh nice module, thanks for video. which IC has used in this module?

[@MrEngineer]

+ninad talekar Hi, the chip says SGL8002W its a SMD chip, though

[@ninadtalekar1878]

Ninad Dear sir, Thanks for replay. it is very nice chip. can you please share the circuit & supportive component. i want to make practically at my home. can you please help me

[@johncoops6897]

@@ninadtalekar1878 - just BUY the module. It costs under $1 for the whole thing.

[@sammerkazwah]

Is this pressure sensitive? If so, does this module increase brightness with more pressure and dim with less to none? Thank you in advance!

[@MrEngineer]

I doubt the capacitance sensor is able to detect and act upon changes to the capacitive plate.

[@smara2876]

I saw these on ebay... it says upon power up of the module the LED state is off. Is this true? Is there a way to make it go to whatever the last state was before power loss? My application would require this.

[@MrEngineer]

+SMARA Unfortunately, the module does not 'remember' its last state during power off. You might need to make your own system

[@1590rambots]

Is it possible to change something on the circuit board to increase it's max current output to 700 mA?

[@rusu959]

add a mosfet

[@ShawnTerry]

Is there a way to use this with a case? I need the touch area to be on the outside of a case without all of the circuitry viewable.

[@MrEngineer]

Some of the selling websites says it can be controlled through a 3mm acrylic

[@tapiocajai]

I tried through 1mm petg. Didn't work

[@MrEngineer]

@@tapiocajai That's not right as the text from seller says it can detect up to 3mm acrylic and so, 1mm PETG should not be a problem. This link might help you. I have stopped playing with this module 3 years ago. www.newegg.com/p/299-002W-00002

[@johncoops6897]

Read DATA SHEET to get information about adding capacitor on pin 2. Everything you need to know, just RTFM. www.mikrocontroller.net/attachment/214214/20130601111832.pdf

[@ricardobraden9415]

I realize I am pretty randomly asking but do anyone know a good place to watch newly released movies online?

[@GorkemYildirim]

I bought it but came with a second led on board which is parallel to LED+- connections. so when I connect a LED it does not work since not enough power. if you get like this from ebay, you need to desolder onboard secondary LED (you have soldering dots visible on left side in this video)

[@MrEngineer]

Gorkem Yildirim Hi, Man. thanks for the update! it's a mystery that the second LED caused this as the specs said it's up to 500mA!

[@dwalklin2493]

Thank you!

[@LBOAVDER]

Gorkem Yildirim , Hey, man! Can you give me the photo, where i can see, what i need to desolder? Sorry for my english

[@tapiocajai]

I did what you said and still not powerful to drive a cree xre which is rated at 3.3v 350ma. This module only outputs 1.9v!!!

[@johncoops6897]

@@LBOAVDER - nobody needs a photo. Open your eyes, look at module... find the LED and de-solder it.

[@davidmorell8689]

Hi I want to do a blinking led, and continues light and then off, could you hepe me? Thank´s

[@MrEngineer]

Sorry, man. I don't do those

[@user-pq1zg9uo3c]

Can the touch be made to work like a momentary switch?... Like it does in the TTP223..

[@MrEngineer]

Hi, this is so long ago, I can't find the board anymore. But iirc, it should.

[@rahmadyannurwidhi226]

I tried this module, but why is the current released only 100ma. I use it for the 5730 smd led

[@MrEngineer]

Hi, I am not sure as this module was more than 3 years ago. It's no more with me

[@freeenergy8273]

Kāds ir moduļa nosaukums?

[@Nugget964]

Where can I find instructions...? does the module come with instructions...?

[@johncoops6897]

You read module product page, you find instructions. You read DATA SHEET, you find instructions. www.mikrocontroller.net/attachment/214214/20130601111832.pdf

[@tapiocajai]

I hooked this up to a cree xre led that has a forward voltage of 3.3 and a normal draw of 350ma. It didn't light up? Do you know maybe what is wrong with my setup?

[@MrEngineer]

HI, If you look at the following link, one of the pictures shows you how to connect the cree LED and if that does not work, you might want look into using the module to control a FET transistor to drive the LED although the original link I bought from says it has a maximum output of 500mA.

[@tapiocajai]

@@MrEngineer same here. Mine saids 500ma and it still can't drive a 3.3v 350ma rated cre xre. How would you connect the FET? I am a electronic newbie when it comes to transistors, diodes, capacitors, IC but not new to soldering and general electronic knowledge. Really appreciate your time here to help all of us

[@tapiocajai]

@@MrEngineer which link are you referring to?

[@MrEngineer]

@@tapiocajai The link is dead. Here is another which is almost similar. However, you will need to use external components if the power requirement is higher. I have stopped playing with this more than 3 years ago. There are more links on the Internet which might help you in your journey. umnaya-elektronika.ru/moduli/drugie-moduli/modul-sensornogo-dimmera-fc-106-2.4-5v-500ma/

[@somnathhaldar9696]

Which mosphet used for dc 6volt led bulb

[@MrEngineer]

Which MosFET do you think is suitable? Have you tried searching the Internet and then read the Datasheets of he selected device? Please let me know too.

[@merazanvar]

My LED is 2 amps and this module giving only 500mah , How can I increase ampere

[@MrEngineer]

You will have to connect the module to a Mosfet circuit to drive that 2A load.

[@MrEngineer]

Hi, Ninad I got this from eBay. Just enter the keywords on their search engine, 'capacitive touch sensor led pwm module'

[@srushtipagar7121]

Can you share how to make this pcb ?

[@MrEngineer]

Hi, the whole module includes the PCB from the Seller. I did not make the PCB.

[@dgm778]

Do You have a Schematic ?

[@MrEngineer]

I'm sorry. I am not the manufacturer.

[@imrannasim4100]

how can i controll a 12v led strip with it

[@rusu959]

use another transistor. it's base connected with a resistor to the output of this module. From +12V connect the strip, to the collector of the transistor. Emitter to Ground. Module ground and Emitter Ground must be connected (common)

[@somnathhaldar9696]

Dyagram please

[@MrEngineer]

Hi, Somnath, The wiring is all there in the video.
