LEVEL: Super Beginner to Programming Pro
Bare Conductive's Electric Paint is just like any other water-based paint, except that it's electrically conductive! This means that you can paint sensors directly onto most materials. When used alongside the Touch Board, an easy-to-use Arduino@Heart microcontroller, it gives you the ability to turn almost any material or surface into a sensor.
Electric Paint
