Description: 1. KY-036 is a metal touch sensor module, which converts simple physical contact into digital signals. The sensor is commonly used in various DIY (Do It Yourself) projects, automation systems, and human machine interface applications. 2. Size and Shape: This compact sensor comes with a round shape and a diameter of approximately 14mm. Its small size makes it an ideal choice for projects where space is limited. 3. Working Principle: The KY-036 Metal Touch Sensor functions by detecting the change in resistance when a conductive material comes into contact with its metal surface. When no contact is detected, the sensor's internal resistance is high; once contacted, the resistance drops significantly, triggering the digital output. 4. Power Consumption: The module operates at a low power consumption of around 10mA when in use and less than 1mA during standby mode, making it energy-efficient for battery-powered projects. 5. Connection and Control: To interface the KY-036 with other com
