5-Wire Resistive Touch Sensor

Hello hello!
It’s been a while since I’ve worked on this site and quite a lot has changed it seems! I’m finally ready to get back behind the wheel for another project, and I think it’s time to change things up a bit myself!
I’ve had in mind for some time a project based off 271828’s Plate and Ball, but I’ve got a lot to learn about sensors and control theory before it’s finished. I thought that so long as I’m learning a thing or two, I might take you guys with me!
To that end, my goal for these tutorials is going to be a sort of hybrid between my more polished tutorials, and a record for the project itself. Each individual tutorial will be one step in that journey, and will include details that I’ve glossed over in the past such as code development (instead of just completed code) and missteps that I take along the way.
I’m very excited for this new project, and I’m exited to see how well it works!
Today we’re just going to get a simple 5-Wire touch panel working with a DP-32.
Let’s get started!”
