"5) Connect your resistor in parallel to your wire into another pin on your Arduino."
I don't understand "in parallel" with "another pin". If it's in parallel that means it shares a connection on each end. That would mean they use the same pin. So, could you give a diagram of where the resistor should go?

Yea...this is the most unique and crucial step of the entire thing - making the switch, and you don't have a single photo of the main reason you are doing the instructable. This site is called "Instructables" not "Describeables". If you can't show us how to do it...Don't write it. Its 2010. Get a digital camera or a cell phone and take pictures of the most important steps of your project. No excuse for being this lazy or omitting visual information to the most crucial step of your post. Epic fail Instructable.

hey, cmon. capacative sensing is as easy as reading any random resistive sensor. just use a resistor as jumper from out to in pin and jam in a cable from the resistor as well. done. i agree though, just one closeup on the digital pin portion of your arduino would b great.

Wow, relax? I really didn't think that covering a piece of aluminum foil with paper was that difficult, I'll see if I can get some pictures uploaded in the next couple weeks.
Step 2 really requires photos showing each stage of the process. Ideally, you should break it out into five separate steps for each item you've listed.

Thanks, I may do that. I wasn't sure if it'd be better overall to have separate pages for all the tiny steps or not. I may leave it the way it is and just pump a bunch of pics into step 2.
There are good arguments both ways. From my perspective, splitting into little steps, with specific photos for each, makes printing out the I'ble (e.g., the PDF), easier to follow. You don't have to cross reference different pictures with text; the I'ble format does it for you.
This is a really nice little project. The missing photos do detract from it. If you build another one, please take a good series of pictures at each stage, and also do a photo montage showing the individual materials prior to assembly.

Thanks, yeah I came up with the idea of making an Instructables article after I built the device and then found that II ran out of aluminum foil. I will definitely try to update it with some more pictures!
