Standalone Toggle Capacitive Touch Sensor Breakout

This breakout board makes it easy to add a single touch sensor to your project. no microcontroller required - power with 1.8 to 5VDC and touch the pad to activate the sensor Toggle output - touch-on then touch-off. Infinite time-out built in but can be modified to add sensor time-out by cutting TIMER jumper and connecting a resistor-capacitor to the TIME pin - see datasheet (http://www.adafruit.com/datasheets/AT42QT1012.pdf) for details Ideally suited for use a toggle to activate something on your project, once touched the red LED comes on or off and the output pin goes high or low repectively. Comes with a fully assembled board and a small stick of 0.1" header.For additional contacts, Adafruit suggest using copper foil, then solder a wire that connects from the foil pad to the breakout. They've also put to together a useful tutorial to help adding your touch sensor to your project - http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-capacitive-touch-sensor-breakouts
