Capacitive touch button with yellow LED backlight: a touch key with no mechanical parts and a white diffusing surface that lights up yellow to confirm the touch. Based on the TTP223 chip, it runs from 2.7V to 6V and provides a digital output ready for Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi and relay modules: ideal for light switches, control panels and home automation projects.

Pinout
| Pin | Function | Arduino connection |
|---|
| VCC | Power 2.7-6V | 5V (or 3.3V) |
| GND | Ground | GND |
| OUT | Touch digital output | A digital pin, e.g. D2 |
Usage tips
- Do not touch the button for about half a second after power-up: the chip calibrates to its surroundings
- Before writing the sketch, check how the output behaves (active only while touched or toggling at each touch) with an LED or by reading it with digitalRead()
- OUT is a logic signal: for lamps, LED strips or 230V loads use a relay module or a transistor
- Always connect the module GND to the microcontroller GND
- Keep metal parts away from the sensing surface: they can disturb detection
- Combine it with buttons of other colors to tell the functions of a panel apart at a glance
