  Arduino Starter Kit example
  Project 13 - Touch Sensor Lamp

  This sketch is written to accompany Project 13 in the Arduino Starter Kit

  Parts required:
  - 1 megohm resistor
  - metal foil or copper mesh
  - 220 ohm resistor
  - LED

  Software required :
  - CapacitiveSensor library by Paul Badger

// import the library (must be located in the Arduino/libraries directory)
#include <CapacitiveSensor.h>

// create an instance of the library
// pin 4 sends electrical energy
// pin 2 senses senses a change
CapacitiveSensor capSensor = CapacitiveSensor(4, 2);

// threshold for turning the lamp on
int threshold = 1000;

// pin the LED is connected to
const int ledPin = 12;
