@ALLTENCH007 It would not be too hard to make them. I got some conductive fabric from lessemf.com ... They have all sorts of new fabrics now.
You can use a similar design, to what I'm doing, potentially using fabric as the insulator... But, I would play with tweaking it for use directly with the conductive fabric.
@allanw Yeah... It's a pretty serious trade off. I never found a need to get x/y multitouch... This way is pretty straight forward and simple, even if it only lets you have as many zones as you have GPIO pins.
@frank26080115 Absolutely not! AVRs are very competent as far as turning any generic IO into capacitive touch sensors. I guess I'll need to draw up a schematic and post the PCB design :-/ *adds to todo list*
hiya, do fabric touch sensitive on/off switches exist?

What LEDs are you using such that emit through the top and bottom of their casing?

@sp1nm0nkey Sorry, I didn't see this... I used this: DIGIKEY: CLV1A-FKB-CJ1M1F1BB7R4S3CT-ND

very cool!

Hmm, this would be pretty cool for my (too ambitious) project: electronoblog.allanw.org/2011/08/yet-another-pcb-business-card-with-touchpad/
The problem is that copper is really opaque, which really ruins the effect.

Are you using QTouch?
