Project Touch Sensor Module

This module normally outputs 0v, but when touched, sends 5v. When connected to an input on the Arduino using the TinkerKit Shield, you will see 0 when there is no touch, and 1023 when touched.

/*

 Analog input, analog output, serial output

Reads an analog input pin; a T000220 Touch Sensor connected to I0, maps the result to a range from 0 to 255
and uses the result to set the pulsewidth modulation (PWM) on a T010111 LED Module connected on O0.
Also prints the results to the serial monitor.
