Fun with cap touch sensors

I’ve added capacitive touch sensor circuitry to our arsenal of interactive controllers. I have been experimenting with this Adafruit capacitive touch kit with fun results and a trove of ideas. Here, I’ve attached the copper tape leads to the leaves of a pothos plant, but you can attach leads to pretty much anything conductive - metal sculpture, furniture, your fingertips - and get a voltage signal you can translate to sound or use to trigger sounds in interactive applications of your choice: Max/MSP, Touchdesigner. Here, I have Spatial Studio on the receiving end, and I have a simple python script on a pi in between that translates voltage to OSC and sends it off to Studio.
