In this instructable i will show how to make a touch sensitive stopwatch like the SpeedStack's stopwatch.

Whatch it works

First test with the OLED

Step 1: Supplies:

* Arduino pro mini
* Adafruit OLED screen (128*68 i2c)
* Copper tape
* 2 Leds
* 2 10 Kohm resistors
* 3 220 ohm resistors
* Wire

****** NOTICE: The touch sensitive are actually made of copper tape and resistor using the CapSense lib.

Also, usually i use the Arduino UNO at the planing and designing state and when done change to Arduino Pro Mini

Step 2: Used Libraries :

I used several of them :
1. For the capacitive touch i used the CapSense library.
2. For the OLED display i used several of them that requier each other :
SPI.h - The library is used to communicate over SPI protocol.
WIRE.h - Used to communicate over I2C protocol
Adafruit-GFX-Library - Used to work with the OLED display.
Adafruit_SSD1306 - Used for the monochrome OLED based on SSD1306 drivers.

Step 3: CODE :

#include

#include 
#include 
#include 
#include

#define OLED_RESET 4
Adafruit_SSD1306 display(OLED_RESET);

#define Red 7
#define Green 8
#define ResetB 6
#define Sensitive 20
#define delayRun 2000
#define blinkDelay 75

#if (SSD1306_LCDHEIGHT != 64)
#error("Height incorrect, please fix Adafruit_SSD1306.h!");
#endif

CapacitiveSensor   cs_4_2 = CapacitiveSensor(5, 4);       // 10M resistor between pins 4 & 2, pin 2 is sensor pin, add a wire and or foil if desired
CapacitiveSensor   cs_4_6 = CapacitiveSensor(3, 2);       // 10M resistor between pins 4 & 6, pin 6 is sensor pin, add a wire and or foil

boolean hold = false, runT = false;
long holdTime, stopWatch;
long total1 ;
long total2 ;
long calculator, blinkCount = 0, over;
int Hours, Minuts, Seconds, Tseconds;

void setup()
{
  cs_4_2.set_CS_AutocaL_Millis(0xFFFFFFFF);     // turn off autocalibrate on channel 1 - just as an example

}

  */
  delay(10);                             // arbitrary delay to limit data to serial port
}

Step 4: Placing and Painting

After all the electronics was set I placed all the componets and wires using 3M dubble sided tape and a regular electric tape.

Then I designed and printed a sicker, and sicked it to the stopwatch.

The area were the sticker does not cover, i painted using PlastiDip paint.
