Come to think of it, if anyone has any examples of using a PIC to detect
touch in this way, I'd love to see it. I was looking at cap sense but I
don't think it's quite the right solution. I believe there's an Arduino
library for doing touch sense that doesn't require too many external
components, ideally I'd be looking for something similar. I have found one
at Bytecraft (http://www.bytecraft.com/Touch_Sensitive_Switch) but I'm
always on the lookout for more!

Thanks!

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something
completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete
fools.
