Hey people, I was looking for a way to detect, if an encoder (with metal shaft of course) is touched. Since NG itself doesn't support such touchsensors I was searching for an IC. And I found it: https://www.mouser.de/ProductDetail/Microchip-Technology/AT42QT1010-TSHR?qs=xbJoyvfFV%2F%252BFK88JVR2efg%3D%3D I've added a 22nF cap between SNS and SNSK and put a 10k resistor right before the encoder. It works great! As soon as I touch the encoder, the "OUT" goes high and if I release it it goes back low. You just have to connect that to an inputpin of an HC165 and you are done. Best, Chris
