The Adafruit board for detecting capacitive touches.

Today – Adding a board dedicated for detecting touches.

I have my new chip for detecting capacitive touch and it is working on new jog wheel swatch!

I’m trying to make this very modular so I can swap out widgets/swatches and micros too.

There’s a mixture of metal and conductive thread. The I2C stuff does best over metal and everything else can be thread.
Also, my touch board has lots of pins very close together to make these soft/conductive thread might be very error prone because of shorts.

Let’s solder right angle headers and then use more metal to hook into the swatch.

Seems to be working!

Let’s start a code base now for sending gamepad commands. To test it!

Seems to be working, although my analog sticks aren’t working in game. Not sure why not.
Fixed that. Plain ole D-pads work better. (for now)
