cubeberg 540 Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 Looks like @lars extended his hatched ground plane over the entire bottom layer. His traces from touch pad to pin are not crossing any others - I may try to do that as well to avoid any potential signal noise. I'll take a look at that tonight - shouldn't be too difficult. I also noticed that the presents that are supposed to be over the touch pads aren't there - I'll check to see if that's just the oshpark job I'm using. bluehash 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cubeberg 540 Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 More progress - music and lights! Current software monitors the left touch button. Touch on the left button wakes the board up and starts the lights for 10 seconds. Right button when awake plays a song! Also worked on a 3d-printed frame - hoping to do a 1/2 globe or something.
