Touch Board Pro Kit

Touch Board kits to boost your creativity

The Touch Board kits designed by Bare Conductive allows you to connect your whole world to a simple, Arduino compatible programming board. With a few alligator clips, a little bit of electric paint and a lot of imagination, you can turn your vegetables into piano keys, your wall into an interactive tablet, the steps of your stairs into motion sensors...

More and more projects are available thanks to a very active community of creators, and a library of open-source codes to develop the Arduino IDE.

Touch Board Pro Kit: the ultimate electronics kit

With this electronics kit designed for advanced users, you’ll discover 4 new components:

• A Touch Board compatible Proto Shield to give you more connection options;
• Pre-printed Electric Paint sensors that you can stick wherever you want;
• Copper tape (15 m) for connecting sensors over long distances;
• A complete resource guide with tips, tricks and techniques.
