## Description

Are you an aspiring DJ? Do you need a slick way to unlock your secret DIY laboratory? Or maybe all you want is to scroll through a few menus and add a little user input to a project. Whatever your intentions this large touch sensing panel can add a modern method of manipulation to your creation.

This 7" diagonal touchpanel uses the “cadillac” of touchscreen technology - mutual projected capacitance - to track up to five fingers simultaneously. Pair that with a simple I2C interface and an optional interrupt to signal new data and you have a truly capable Human Machine Interface platform.

This touch panel comes with a Qwiic board and Arduino library to easily add it to an I2C project.

 **Experimental Product:** [SparkX](https://www.sparkfun.com/sparkx) products are rapidly produced to bring you the most cutting edge technology as it becomes available. These products are tested but come with no guarantees. Live technical support is not available for SparkX products. Head on over to our [forum](https://forum.sparkfun.com/) for support or to ask a question. We do not plan to regularly produce SparkX products so get them while they’re hot!
