When a finger touches the copper foil area on the PCB, the capacitance changes, triggering an effect similar to a physical key press by detecting the change in capacitance.
The slider on the BMK54T004A is composed of 8 touch-sensing units. Through a specially designed PCB copper foil layout and advanced MCU algorithms, it accurately detects touch positions along the slider (positions 1 to 8).
The development board communicates via the I2C interface to read touch states and illuminate the LED corresponding to the touched position/key. Each key (including slider positions) has independently adjustable sensitivity. If an acrylic or similar cover reduces capacitance, sensitivity can be increased to maintain responsive touch performance.
This board can be directly plugged into an Arduino UNO or our BMduino-UNO development board (such as BM53A367A). Simply align the header pins on the back of the BMK54T004A with the corresponding socket and press into place—no additional wiring required.
All other pins not listed are reserved or unused.

Q1: How does it enter standby/sleep mode?
A: After power-up, the module starts in standby detection mode. Touch input switches it to active mode; after approximately 8 seconds of inactivity, it automatically returns to standby detection.
Q2: How do I wake it from standby?
A: Simply touch any key or slider position. Some firmware versions also support I2C address match wake-up (based on actual firmware version).
Q3: Can it work through glass or acrylic overlays?
A: Yes. For best performance, keep overlay thickness within about 3mm, and adjust sensitivity settings to maintain consistent touch response.
