Exciting announcement from the Bela team about a new flexible version of the Trill touch sensor:

Designing a custom flex sensor

Trill Flex brings flexible touch sensing to your maker projects. Trill Flex comes with a one-axis multitouch sensor printed on flexible PCB, but we designed this sensor to be detachable so you can create entirely custom sensors perfectly suited to your own projects.

In this tutorial we will create a custom 30-button flexible touchpad. You will learn how to set up a KiCad project and include the Trill design files, draw the pads, add a ground plane, and get your design ready to be printed. (Every purchase of Trill Flex comes with a unique discount code for $20 off flex PCB printing with our friends at OSHPark.com.)

Trill Flex is available now on the Bela shop

We also have a new video tutorial on designing custom flex sensors with @kicad_pcb

We're extremely happy to be partnering with @oshpark to offer a $20 discount on Flex PCB manufacture for everyone who purchases a Trill Flex.
