Sharing: Adding capacitive touchsensor to midiBox

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:

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
