+// This is a capacitive touch sensing routine using a single digital
+// pin.  The pin should be connected to the sensing pad, and to ground
+// via a 1Mohm or thereabout drain resistor.  When a reading is taken,
+// the pin's capacitance is charged by setting it to a digital output
+// 'high' for a few microseconds, and then it is changed to a high
+// impedance input.  We measure how long it takes to discharge through
+// the resistor (around 50us), using a busy-waiting loop, and average
+// over N_SAMPLES cycles to reduce the effects of noise.
