I suddenly got in a situation where everything stopped working. I'm using the same code as I posted earlier in this thread, but my reading just says 0 (microseconds). The circuit didn't change at all. I have no idea what to do. I'm unsure if I should make a new thread because I have already posted the code here, and it might seem like I'll be repeating some of the things in the new thread. I apologize if I'm asking too much.
Upload the code to the Arduino again and check the wiring carefully. Are you using a breadboard ? If so check that all wires are connected properly and that the pins on the patch leads are actually connected to the wires

I added a few images to the post above (couldn't add as attachments because of file size). Let me know if link doesn't work. I have uploaded code again at least fifty times. Wiring checked.
Did you read about "resistor choice" and "known issues" on that page? Also, I think your blue wire is placed wrong, shouldn't it be between the two resistors? Also mind that the breadboard itself may have some capacitance.
I figured I'd try fixing this for a good amount of time before going to the forum, but it actually seems like I found the fault just now. Very embarrassing. I had tried testing a lot of the pins, and switching wires and so on, but it seemed like I had placed one wire wrong. I'm so sorry for the trouble, guys. I appreciate the help. Regarding the issues talked about on that site – I'm not experiencing any of them in my current setup (now that it works). No noise, and it can sense a light finger touch through 4 mm glass. The resistors on my images are two 1.0 M in series (sorry if it was difficult to see). Again, thank you for all the help!
