Sensitivity of Gemma M0's capacative touch sensors

Post by tomchaps »

I'm beginning to make a Pong Scarf, that uses the 1D pong code in an LED scarf. I planned on having small buttons hidden in the fur at either end, but was excited to discover that the I/O pads are all capacative touch sensors. However, I'm not sure they'd be sensitive enough for fast-paced gameplay--has anyone experimented with them, and can tell me how reactive they are? Looking at the fabric examples with Flora, it's a bit unclear to me.

Any advice appreciated!
