Circuit Playground Fruit Drums – Make some block rockin’ beats with Circuit Playground:

In this guide we will explore the capacitive touch capabilities of the Circuit Playground and work our way towards putting together a USB MIDI drum machine driven by fruit. We’ll also turn the Circuit Playground into a ‘keyboard’ so you can use it to play games or run an application that uses arrow keys

Required Parts:
This project will work mainly with the Circuit Playground attached to a computer via a USB cable. Alligator clips will be used to attach to the capacitive touch pads.
