Pi Pico Capacitive Touch Game
Raspberry Pi Pico Capacitive Touch Game Kit – Build a Memory Game on OLED
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Turn eight strips of copper tape into a responsive touch keyboard that controls a memory game displayed on a crisp OLED screen. This kit fuses hands-on electronics with interactive programming, challenging you to replicate sequences of lights and patterns exactly like a classic Simon game — but with code you write and circuits you wire yourself on a breadboard.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a fully functional memory game console powered by a Raspberry Pi Pico. Each of the eight copper pads you place on the breadboard becomes a touch-sensitive button. The OLED shows a random sequence of pad flashes; your job is to repeat it correctly by tapping the right touch sensors. The game tracks your score, increases difficulty with each round, and gives visual feedback for hits and misses — a compelling project that demonstrates capacitive sensing, microcontroller programming, and display output in one cohesive system.
What You'll Learn
- Wiring capacitive touch sensors using copper tape and high-value resistors on ADC pins
- Reading and debouncing touch inputs from the Pico’s analog-to-digital converter in MicroPython
- Designing game logic for sequence generation, user input matching, and scorekeeping
- Interfacing an I2C OLED display to render menus, game progress, and animations

Who This Kit Is For
Perfect for CBSE Class 11–12 students exploring microcontroller-based physics projects, B.Tech ECE/EEE undergraduates needing a practical touch-sensing demo, and ATL Tinkering Lab participants building interactive exhibits. Makers preparing for Smart India Hackathon or hobbyist clubs at IIT, NIT, VIT, and BITS campuses will find this kit an easy way to prototype a complete game system without sourcing parts from multiple vendors.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Open the AI companion from your phone, describe the issue, and receive step-by-step guidance. If you prefer, drop a message on WhatsApp — our support team knows every detail of this kit.
Can I recalibrate touch sensitivity if the pads don’t respond consistently?
Yes. The companion includes calibration routines to adjust threshold values for your environment, and you can tweak the code to accept lighter or firmer touches.
Do I need to solder anything, or is it entirely plug-and-play?
The entire build is solderless — copper tape acts as the touch surface, and all connections go through the breadboard with jumper wires.
Can I extend the game with more levels or different patterns?
Absolutely. Once the base game works, the AI companion suggests code modifications to add levels, sound, or even multiplayer modes using the same hardware.
Eight copper pads on Pico ADC pins form a touch keyboard for a simple memory game on OLED.
