Smart as paint: Liquid wire adds gloss to RS portfolio
RS Components has signed up a new distribution partner in Bare Conductor, developers of the innovative Electric Paint and the Arduino-based Touch Board. 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, Electric Paint can be used as a potentiometer and is ideal 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.
“Starting our partnership with RS Components opens an exciting new thread in the story of Bare Conductive, and will help us expand our passion for creating unexpected ways of interacting with electronics to a global commercial and industrial customer base,” said Matt Johnson, CEO of Bare Conductive.
“The creative energy at Bare Conductive is palpable, and makes it a delight to work with this team,” commented Ben Lawton, Global Head of Tools & Consumables at RS Components.
