Description
This module packs the MPR121 chip, offering 12+1 configurable electrodes for accurate touch detection with touch/release and debounce modes for reliable input. I2C connectivity simplifies integration with microcontrollers, while 8 LED pins and customization options like address jumpers and pull-up resistors enhance functionality. The module includes four jumpers on the bottom of the board, which are all set (closed) by default. One of these jumpers ties the ADD pin to ground, resulting in a default I2C address of 0x5A. If you need to change the address of the chip, you will need to open the jumper first. The other three jumpers connect SDA, SCL, and the interrupt pin to 10k pull-up resistors. If you don't require these pull-up resistors, you can open the jumpers by cutting the trace that connects them. Explore diverse applications like touch interfaces, interactive displays, instruments, robotics, and smart home devices. Engage your projects with the intuitive power of touch using the MPR121 V12 module.

Pin Connections:
| Pin | Description |
|---|---|
| 3.3V | Connected to a 3.3V power supply. |
| IRQ | Interrupt output from the MPR121 chip, can be connected to a microcontroller interrupt pin. |
| SCL | I2C clock line, should be connected to the microcontroller's SCL pin. |
| SDA | I2C data line, should be connected to the microcontroller's SDA pin. |
| ADD | Used to set the I2C address of the MPR121 chip. Connected to GND by default, setting the address to 0x5A. If needed, connect to a different pin on the module. |
| GND | Connected to ground. |
| 0-11 Electrodes/LED | These pins can be used as either electrode inputs or LED outputs. Electrode inputs connect to conductive material for touch sensing, and LED outputs connect to LED anodes with cathodes grounded through a current-limiting resistor. |

Notes:
- Touch Switch Capacitive Button Sensor Module V12 MPR121 is to ensure that the electrode inputs are properly shielded from noise and interference. Because the module relies on capacitance to detect touch inputs, any external electrical noise or interference can cause false triggers or affect the sensitivity of the touch sensing.
