Capsense Library Experimentation

After following the YouTube video and the Instructables video, I was able to successfully create a capacitive sensor using the Arduino. I was actually surprised by how simple it was. I first tried putting my wire against the metal portion of my scissors before closing my fist over the wire and seeing the serial monitor respond to that. I think that the capacitive sensor is a really useful tool and I plan to try using it in the future.

The code I used was the Capacitive Sensor Sketch example from the Capsense Library.
