Making of a Light Switch with a Capacitive Proximity Sensor

Click here for the video. This is a light switch with a capacitive proximity sensor. I couldn’t find any comprehensive source on the internet on running capacitive proximity sensors near AC current sources, so I wrote mine. It is 101 pages long and has everything you need to know.
