void value not ignored as it ought to be

I would prefer to use pointers since speed is an issue

Pointers are not necessarily faster than other means of data access.

In this case, you would make some minor changes:
CapacitiveSensor *cs_sensor[numberOfSensors];

for(int i = 0; i < numberOfSensors; i++)
{ // Down here where it belongs!
cs_sensor = new CapacitiveSensor(capSenseSend,sensorPin*);*
* }*
void setSensorValue()
{ // Down here where it belongs!
* for(int i = 0; i < numberOfSensors; i++)*
* { // Down here where it belongs!*
letters.setCurrentReading(cs_sensor*->capacitiveSensor(50));
_ }
}*_
