Great craft project

My 12 year old loved making these lamps, he customised or by merging two designs and using black card for the shade.

Amazing customer service

Amazing customer service!
The spring on the miniSD card reader in the sound board stopping working so it wasn’t reading the tracks on the card. I emailed asking for advice on ways to fix it and they responded super quick saying they would send a brand new touch board. I’m an educator (with limited if any funds) who uses the board for student projects and was so thankful for their response and for the new piece of equipment. I’m so excited to keep using it with my kiddos!

There is no reference guide, what does the code do?

I am very happy with the board, it is of good quality, but with respect to the code there is almost nothing of reference, it is not known what each function does in the code that uses the board, what parameters it needs, how can I edit the code, in There are some very poor and unclear examples on the page as to what the code that the board uses does.

Hello, appologies if it was not clear when your order was placed, but you selected a slower shipping service that is not trackable. Your order was dispatched last week and should be with you this week. Send us an email if it doesn't arrive and we'll send a replacement with a tracked service free of charge.

no information about fees

I bought a tube of paint at 7 euros, it was not expensive because the customs fees were not included in the price but I do not find that correct not to announce during the purchase that I was going to have to pay 19 euros of fees!

Hello, I am very sorry about this, it is a very annoying new change that Brexit has brought. We have tried to make it clear on our website with pop-ups for EU customers and accepting shipping terms before checkout. We are exploring the new VAT relationship with the EU to hopefully make this all better for our EU customers, but i'm very sorry you had an unexpected customs import charge.

Well presented in great packaging.

Well packaged with clear and concise instructions printed on the packaging.
I can't wait to try out the board and if it behaves as I expect, I will certainly order more.

Best of Breed

There are plenty of capacitive touch toys/products on the market and I've tinkered with most of them. Bare Conductive has not only specialized in it, but nearly perfected it. I say nearly because they are frequently pushing forward, so clearly there's more to do.

I bought one of their first touch boards and had a blast with it. Lately I bought the lamp kit for my father and the Pi HAT my myself.

A sign of a good company is when they showcase work that uses their product. Not just points to and brags about, but actually showcases with a write-up and video. Bare is one of two companies from which I buy stuff that does this well.

Don't know about the paint, but I love the rest and have several.

I know many of you are curious about the paint. I can't help you there, because I don't use that on my projects. Instead, for my purposes, I just connect metal objects, like screws, to the board, often connecting simply with alligator clips for my prototypes. The contacts work really well, the VS-1003 chip is very versatile for its price. (I mostly use it for General MIDI.) And the Arduino part seems to be like a Leonardo for most purposes, though the added software from Bare Conductive is welcome.

Disappointed.

I have no problem with Bare Conductive who delivered my purchase promptly, but I am disappointed in the Electric Paint I purchased. I was aware of the warning on the website that the product had not been tested with a current exceeding 50mA on a power supply supply of 12v DC but encouraged by another user's review that said he had used it successfully on his model railway to overcome the problem of stalling on points with insulated frogs. However, on my N gauge DCC layout which uses a 16v AC power supply and where the locomotives draw about 0.5amps the paint proved to be ineffective at best and possibly counter productive. Stalling persisted and it is possible that the slightly "rubbery" texture of the dried paint presented an obstacle to the tiny wheels of the locomotives. I even tested coating the contacting surfaces of the switch-rail and stock-rail and found that far from helping conductivity, it prevented power from passing between the rails. A conductivity test with my multimeter failed to produce a buzz when the probes were applied to the live rail and an area coated with the paint.. Very disappointing since, once dried, the paint appears to be resistant to scuffing. On the plus side, the paint appears to have some use as "cold solder". I have made a repair to a broken point using the paint - refixing the plastic stretcher between a switchrail and stockrail.

Hello, thank you for the feedback appologies that you were not satified with the Electric Paint for your application. As you discovered it has a higher resitance than some other materials so unfortuenatly won't work for everything. When testing with the multimeter it is best to use the ohms measurement to see the reistant values rather than the continuity setting as it is too high to produce a 'buzz' on most multimeters. Thanks again

Looks like a great product

Looks like a great product, though not evaluated yet. Received inside of a few days no problem at all, quite well packaged, though I suggest they use a slightly thicker cardboard packaging for the tubes.
