The problem

A MOSFET can act as a simple analogue switch. This project shows it controlling a real mechanism with nothing but touch.

How it works

  1. 1Two MOSFETs are wired as touch switches, so a light contact is enough, with no button
  2. 2Touching a switch starts the motor in one direction
  3. 3When the door reaches its end, the other switch stops it, ready to move back the other way

Result

A working door that responds to touch alone.
