Thanks,
When I first try your code, I get gibberish in the serial monitor. By changing the baud rate to 9600, I get sensible output.
Max values start anywhere between 800 and 200, and stay stable until touching a few times.
Min start just below Max and decreases quickly, then very slowly after 250
When I touch it, it sometimes eventually defaults to 1023 Max or 0 Min, and touching gives some Min (and sometimes Max) values (but not very responsive at all, and sometimes the values don't make complete sense) until it decides to stop working. Total Max and Min is 1023 and 27 (rest is hidden in corner).
I can still get it to work with my old code going to processing. The readings there are stable at about 250 (/4 in Arduino code) until I press, then they spit out a number in the 10-245 range (corner), and go back to 250. Works fine except for the speed , and anything over 245 I have do nothing,)
