I hacked a Dollar Tree LED Touch lamp which actually drove this gear motor directly. Pretty cool, I'll nab a few more.

    This lady's Dollar Tree video got 60K views in a month, and she didn't hack ANYTHING. I need to re-evaluate my whole shtick.

    Some people go for quality in their videos, while others go for quantity of views.

    Unfortunately, the TTP223 touch sensor modules are now <$1 on eBay.

    These 80-cent gearmotors work fine too, and are a perfect friction fit inside the lamp tube. The 3V circuit works fine here at 1.5V, one AA cell, 10mA draw.
