Setting up your Touch Board with the Arduino Installer

The touch board can be programmed on the Arduino IDE software. In order to do so it is first required to install some dependencies that make you able to work with the Touch Board. You can find the instructions here.
Once you completed the instructions you can check whether the library has been installed correctly by opening your Arduino IDE and go to:
File --> Sketchbook --> Touch Board Examples

You should be able to find already a bunch of example code you can use and modify to make it your own. To play MP3 files from the SD card when touching the sensors you can use Touch_MP3. You can also use the touch board as a keyboard with the HID_keyboard sketch.
