Bare Conductive of Arduino

ValerieB

Hello

Is there anybody who knows if it's possible to use the Bare Conductive touchboard (with Arduino mp3 Simple Touch) as sound input to a sketch in Processing, for ex. to visualise each touch?

Thank you very much. I can't find any tutorial on the web.

to visualize each touch

It depends on what you mean. The Bare Conductive Touchboard can visualize touching "A" or "B", or touching "hard" or "soft". But you can't use a bunch of conductive paint like a touchscreen, e.g. to communicate a picture of your handprint.

The closest you can get to a touch "shape" would be to build a pie chart out of conductive paint -- see the midi keyboard example from the demo video, at 45 seconds:

If you want it to communicate with Processing, one easy way (without using Arduino Libraries) is using MIDI. Use the Processing MIDI Library, and turn on MIDI mode on your Touchboard. See these tutorials:

Thank you @jeremydouglass very much for your answer. I will try it out!
