Expanding portfolio
19 January 2015
RS Components has launched into its latest distribution partnership by adding Electric Paint and the Arduino-based Touch Board from Bare Conductive.

Electric Paint is electrically conductive, non-toxic, solvent-free, and water-soluble. It can be used as a liquid wire, as a cold-soldering medium, or even as a conductive adhesive. Suitable for use with low-voltage DC power supplies, it can be used as a potentiometer and is suitable for prototyping, repairing PCBs, and painting circuits and sensors on any surface.
The Touch Board microcontroller board integrates a capacitive touch chip, MP3 player, SD Card slot, Li-Po battery charger, and 12 electrodes. The electrodes can be connected directly to conductors, such as Electric Paint pads, to trigger sounds via the MP3 player or other functions such as wireless communication or motor control added using an Arduino expansion shield.
