Nice... tried with two 2n2219 transistors one LED and 100K and 1K resistors as the diagram says. It works but as expected this is a basic circuit and it is a bit sensitive to human proximity
-
Should be the schematic of a Darlington, so 2 transistor in a package whit a really hight gain so should be possible to use just a single transistor
-
why the 100k resistor?
-
Nice idea, but this would never pass in the real-world for a commercial based option. Add a little ESD (static electricity) ~1KV (you wouldn't even notice it) and pop! Better to use capacitive sensing and look for a change in the RC discharge curve.

Use a t flip-flop

Use a t flip-flop

Thx! Does anyone know if this circuit could be modified to allow for the switch to remain on after you remove your finger. So, touch once, remove finger, but LED stays on. Touch again, remove finger and LED goes off? If so, how?

@idanbeck err sorry, it WILL be B1*B2 + B1 + B2
@mrshko I should add a disclaimer that commercial hardware developers should not use these videos as reference designs...
