Whether you are a designer, engineer, artist, student or educator the Touch Board has more inputs and outputs than almost any Arduino compatible device. It is a powerful prototyping tool which combines Arduino compatibility with robust capacitive touch, distance sensing, an MP3 Player, MIDI functionality and a LiPo battery charger. Make a powerful distance sensor, make an MP3 player or make a hackable MIDI controller, or combine all three!

The Touch Board has 12 electrodes that can be extended to create individual touch sensors using Electric Paint or any other conductive material. Listen to the Touch Board’s pre-loaded audio guide and then listen to your own MP3s by loading on the microSD card. Upload our MIDI controller code and connect your Touch Board to Ableton Live, Garage Band and more.

The Touch Board is as powerful as it is easy to use and can be used and programmed just like an Arduino through the Arduino IDE. We’ve got robust and fully-featured libraries, example code and tons of tutorials so you can take advantage of all of its features. Use your Touch Board to transform the world around you!

Getting started is easy

Getting started is easy. The Touch Board comes pre-programmed with an audio guide that takes you through basic features and highlights of the board. This tutorial will get you up and running in no time.

Capacitive touch and distance sensing

Want to hide a button behind a window or paint an interactive wall? The Touch Board is for you. Connect something conductive – like our Electric Paint – to any one of the 12 electrodes and turn it into a reliable touch or distance sensor. The board auto calibrates and compensates for an impressive range of sensor sizes. Use either simple proximity sensing or our visual grapher to see the power of the Touch Board’s sensors in action.

You’ve got an Arduino

The Touch Board comes preprogrammed with an Audio Guide that takes you through basic functions, and is easily programmed via the Arduino IDE. Use the Touch Board Arduino Plugin Installer to get our libraries and example sketches on your machine instantly. Tune your distance sensors, play MP3s or make an amazing MIDI controller. It’s just an upload away. Oh yeah – if you’ve got code that’s worked on another Arduino, it’s probably going to work here.

You’ve got an MP3 Player

Your Touch Board will arrive programmed as an MP3 player. Want to switch our audio guide for your favourite tunes? Just swap the MP3s on the microSD card. Want to use the MP3 functionality for another project? Great. Our libraries make it easy to control your files.

n.b. The Touch Board doesn’t support polyphonic MP3 output, but to make polyphonic sounds take a look below.

You’ve got a Hackable MIDI Controller

The Touch Board is the most flexible MIDI controller on the market. Turn any thing, any surface or any space into a USB MIDI controller. The code is simple and the output is amazing. We’ve got tutorials to get your Touch Board connected to Ableton Live and Max/MSP in just a few steps. Want a stand alone device? The Touch Board also supports onboard MIDI synthesis with over 150 instruments.
