Magic Mouse

Concept:

For my “Magic Mouse” assignment, the aim is to create a capacitive touch sensing system using my Arduino board. The core idea revolves around a touch-sensitive surface, represented by a simple foil, that triggers an LED to illuminate each time the surface is touched by the mouse.

How It Works:
The foil functions as a capacitive touch sensor. When I touch the foil with the mouse, it induces a change in capacitance, which the Arduino detects through the connected digital pin. The Arduino then activates the LED.

Areas for Improvement:

Looking at the project, I feel like I could’ve dialed up the complexity a bit. It’s good as it is, but adding some extra layers could take it to the next level. Maybe weave in more interactive elements or toss in some sensors. Just a touch more sophistication to keep things interesting and elevate the challenge.
