Re: Cheapest object sensor on the market!

How about the crude touch-sensors from early tv remote controls (think 70th)?

These where just two electrodes (part of the PCB) and a very simple analog transistor-circuit that measures the presence of body-resistance.

Won't work for users with gloves on, but it will be cheap for sure.
