Project: Arduino Beatbox
Author: Scott C
Created: 9th April 2015
Arduino IDE: 1.6.2
Website: http://arduinobasics.blogspot.com/p/arduino-basics-projects-page.html
Description: This project uses home made capacitive sensors to trigger over 130 MP3 sounds
on the Grove Serial MP3 player.
The ADCTouch library is used to eliminate the resistors from the Capacitive sensing circuit.
The code used for capacitive sensing was adapted from the ADCTouch library example sketches.
You can find the ADCTouch library and relevant example code here:
http://playground.arduino.cc/Code/ADCTouch
"Advanced Arduino ADC" is used to improve the analogRead() speed, and enhance the
drum pad or capacitive sensor response time. The Advanced Arduino ADC code
was adapted from this site:

Today SeeedStudio launched an intriguing new Kickstarter project, the RePhone. Reminiscent of Google's Project Ara, the RePhone is a modular phone built from open source components.
The biggest news coming out of Maker Faire Shenzhen, outside the size and intensity of the event itself, was the announcement made by Massimo Banzi that Arduino boards using the name Genuino will be made in China by Seeed Studio. There have been plenty of Arduino clones made in China that closely […]
