[sdiy] Touch Controllers

[Fernando de Izuzquiza]

Hi,

I'm very interested too, but still did not build any.
The sources I know are :

*JSimonton's touch switches
http://www.paia.com/touchsw.htm

*TKB
http://machines.hyperreal.org/manufacturers/Serge/schematics/

*Serge touch responsive keyboard (old style programmer and capacitive keys)
Synapse magazine pages scanned somewhere on the net. I can't find where now, but I can send you the
file
