Led dimmer with touch sensor



  • I'm working on modifying the led dimmer with rotary input to use a touch pad but have ran into issues. It works exactly the way I want it to when the arduino is still plugged into my pc, but it I use my laptop or just the power brick the capsense values fluctuate wildly and even smoothing is not helping.

    I'm thinking it is hardware, I have the default led dimmer setup with a 1M ohm resistor between pins 2 & 4 and a wire coming off 2 for the cap sensing. I am using the capsense library from arduino.

    Here is my wall of code. It is still a bit messy due to troubleshooting.

  • I thought about it a little bit and realized that the reliability issue arose when I was not connected to a really good ground. Referred to the docs and it appears that this is a known issue with capacitive sensing and that a good ground is needed.
    http://playground.arduino.cc/Main/CapacitiveSensor?from=Main.CapSense

    Apparently another work around is a large grounding plate under the touch sensor separated by an insulator. I may just hang some rebar in the middle of my lamp to act as a grounding plate.

    I think the code above can be considered an alpha or rough beta of adding touch. My gateway died so I have not tested that part of the code to make sure I did not break it.

    Basically, the code should take the normal dimmable led and add touch dimming to it. Touching for less than TOUCH_HOLD_THRESHOLD will toggle on/off, longer than that will start a dim up to max, then down to zero and repeat till you let go. What you release at is saved so that if you tap off then back on it returns to the dim level you selected.

    Once I iron out the code I'll post a final version with some instructions. With this you can add touch dimming with a resistor and wire if you have good grounding.



  • Ok, got it working. Probably could use some code cleanup but it works so I don't care. lol

    Code is set up so you can tap on/off, tap and hold to dim with dim value at release getting saved to eeprom and you can double tap to 100% brightness.

    This can be added to any led dimmer by adding a 1M ohm resistor and a touch wire. aka, on the cheap. The Arduino capSense library is needed as well as a good ground.
    http://playground.arduino.cc/Main/CapacitiveSensor?from=Main.CapSense

    @hek you are more than welcome to add this code to the led dimmer build page, I recommend cleaning it up first though. Touch sense could be broken into functions, noted better, and I am pretty sure there is at least one variable declared but not used. lol

  • Before I forget, I should add a few notes for anyone else that wants to try this.

    1. grounding is required unless you want to do trial and error on a ground plane. I just bought a 3 wire extension cord and modified it. Please do not do this unless you know how to mess with things connected to mains without killing yourself.

    2. any capacitance added to the system will skew results, aka you may get good results via serial, but remember even a laptop on batteries adds capacitance, and if you touch it you add more. So, while it looks to work connected to a computer or laptop, do not expect it to work when connected to a lamp the first time.

    3. the larger the metal mass connected to the sensor pin, the less likely it is to work. a small wire, works great. A small lamp, probably works fine I did not test. A six foot tall metal lamp when you live near high voltage lines.... will not work. I had to go with a wire running to a touch pad rather than the entire lamp being the touch surface.

    4. if touch is not working in final install location, get the smallest battery powered computer you have and keep an eye on serial output. print out total1 as this is the value measured against TOUCH_THRESHOLD.



  • Hi @FreakOfNature (hehe, feels awkward saying it like this but its your nickname 🙂 )
    I would like to use same functionality as you use here, to control LED with touch. And I got it working up to some point, but could you post latest version of your code please?
    I see that there are quire a few things missing, and you say it is working for you
    Thanks



  • actually it is working fine, I was just trying to integrate motion sensor as well and made some fail 🙂
    There are a few very specific "glitches" but I will edit the code a bit. Thank you for sharing the code



  • Dear all,

    first of all, many thanks for this thread which helps me a lot.

    I know this post is old, but I give you my contribution in return.

    I completely rewrite the code to make it modular and more reusable.

    I wrote 3 classes (Dimmer, DimmerDriver an extendedCapacitiveSensor) and a two sketches for Arduino (one without MySensors and one with it).

    In order to compile the scketches, all files must be saved either in the same directory or in a directory listed in the ARDUINO_LIB_PATH or in the USER_LIB_PATH environnement variable.

    Have fun.
    DoccY.

    PS since the posts are limited in length and I can't upload files due to forum policy, I will provide the files in the next messages.

    /*
      The MySensors Arduino library handles the wireless radio link and protocol
      between your home built sensors/actuators and HA controller of choice.
      The sensors forms a self healing radio network with optional repeaters. Each
      repeater and gateway builds a routing tables in EEPROM which keeps track of the
      network topology allowing messages to be routed to nodes.
