This plant sings!
By connecting a capacitance sensor to a plant one can detect if people are touching it and convert the touch into sound.
Components Needed:
Arduino
Homemade touche shield (Instructable can be found here)
Gameduino (We are going to use it for sound).
Two buttons.
A couple of Alligator clips.
Two banana connectors.
Enclosure (I used a wooden box from http://www.containerstore.com/welcome.htm)
Components needed for the touche shield:
Prototyping shield
Pin headers
Resister: 10k, 1MOmh, 3,3k
Capacitor: 100pf, 10nf
Diode: 1N4148 diode
Coil / inductor: 10mH
