SPOKE aims to be the next generation of touchboard controllers, making it easier than ever to create touch-based interfaces for computer interaction. SPOKE is able to use almost any conductive object or material to control almost any type of computer input! From music making, video game controlling, text-typing, mouse moving, software controlling and probably more I haven't thought of yet.

The board is designed around the RP2040 ic chip from Raspberry Pi and uses Circuitpython, in particular it's touchio library, to turn 27 of the chips GPIO's into cap-touch sensors. The remaining 3 GPIO are used to control a string of neopixel LEDs and also connect to 2 stemma connectors. These connectors are link to GPIO that have i2c, ADC and PWM controls, allowing you to control a servo, control i2c inputs or outputs, read analog inputs like LDR's or Pots or even daisy-chaining SPOKE boards together to create 54 or 81 pin touch controllers!
