Makers and hobbyists that are looking for a capacitive touch sensor for a project, might be interested in a new touch sensor board called the EasyTouch. The EasyTouch capacitive touch sensor can ...

The sensor forms an image and OpenCV detects the actual touch configuration. It appears you can use the raw data from the Arduino, too, but it might be a little harder.

And, since its pin compatible with most Arduino shields, you can add even more capabilities to the Touch Board for more complex projects.

If you enjoy tinkering and building Arduino projects, you might be interested in a new range of products which have been specifically designed to add touchscreen LCD displays to your builds. The ...

This touch screen relies on measurements from two range finders to track your finger as you press buttons. [James Alliban] put this together as his first Arduino project.

For those starting out in Arduino, there are tons of resources to get better acquainted with the community and the types of projects you can tinker with.

10 Simple-But-Fun Projects to Make With Arduino John Boxall, author of the new book Arduino Workshop, shares a few of the projects from his book on how to get started with the microcontroller.
