Hello,
First, I am very green when it it comes to circuit boards, switches and electronics in general. I have a small company that makes LED Aluminum bases to illuminate etched glass and plexiglass. I use a 5 volt LED strip with a micro USB connection and I would like to add touch on/off/dimmer functionality to my product. I have done some reading and it sounds like a Capacitive Touch Switch would work but I am unsure. Can I use this type of switch with aluminum? Are the better alternative? I would very much appreciate the help. I am about to send of design plans for our upgraded base display and would love to incorporate this function if possible.
Thank you,
Rick
