I have another potential use for that. The possibility of using the 
touch, along with the button to activate it, as a machine jogging device 
would appear to be a possible use. Draw arrows, then process the touch 
to see if its on the arrow, driving slow if near the origin, and fast if 
near the tip of an arrow.

If the interface is spi, only the socket adapters would be needed to make 
one of them work on my 11x36 Sheldon.  Humm. Shouldn't even need the 
arduino if a 7i90 interface is being used as I have around 35 pins 
unused despite the hand dials used now.
