Oh oh. Interesting point. I certainly could have made the assumption (always a risk) based on their description that it would work.
An Improved Arduino Nano
If you used Arduino Nano in your projects in the past, the Nano Every is a pin-equivalent substitute. Your code will still work, and you will NOT need to re-wire those motors you planned in your original design. The main differences are: a better processor, and a micro-USB connector.
Ok. I will try the Nano (more expensive, shoot) and still hope someone may have gotten the Nano Every working with some kind of touch sensing.
Thanks
