To start off, thanks to the video sponsor: JLCPCB for sponsoring this project. JLCPCB Prototype for $2 (Any Color): https://jlcpcb.com/DYE​

In this video we take a bit of a dive into the theory of capacitive sensing along with some details about how to design a pcb utilizing touch sensors and an arduino library to do perform the sensing in software. I show off two boards I've designed, for linear and scroll, along with some demo code to show an example of what is possible with this application. Let me know if you guys have any cool ideas for how I can delve deeper into capacitive touch sensing projects.
