(I think I spent way too much time on the code)

I had created special code for my arduino to have it act as a capacitive touch sensor. I used the analog inputs to catch the rest of the voltage powered by a 5V source. Between the Source and the analog in was a resistor then a wire the the user can touch, which then lower the voltage and value from the arduino.

Because of Max’s limitation to read serial output, I made the arduino code give a 1 or 0 depending on if a button was touched which corresponded to a certain wire.

I had planned to use this technology in my final project to create a non grounded touch sensor
