FC-106 CAPACITIVE TOUCH SENSOR FOR LED DIMMER

Image
Note:  3 step brightness: Controls led brightness in 3 steps ( low, medium, high). Continuous level (No memory): Single touch for on off. Long touch to decrease brightness and long touch again to increase brightness. Resets brightness in on/off. Continuous level (with memory): Same as above. But it saves the brightness info. After turning on , it applies last brightness. Toggle on/off:  Simple toggle on or off the led. Technical information:  Operating voltage: up to 5 volt. Polarity protection: It has a low voltage drop diode. So, your accidental wrong polarity won't fry the module. LED control:  This module has an on board transistor  (typically , smd version of S8050 ) which can handle about 500mA . So, you can just plug in an led ( that consumes less than 500nA ) . But, to control higher current consuming leds, you must use a bigger TRANSISTOR or MOSFET.

ZW111 capacitive fingerprint sensor test

ZW111 pinout: Note: make sure your connector follows same color sequence as this. Datasheet:  Download ZW111 datasheet Library:  Download Adafruit fingerprint Library ZW111 to Classic ESP32 Connection: Note: you must you 3.3v only. 5v may kill the module. For this setup, we are powering both the touch sensor and the fingerprint sensor with 3.3V.
