[sdiy] Crackle Box PCBs

[Fernando de Izuzquiza]

My mistake, it's not dual, I was so excited I didn't read the schematic 
completely!
So I'd like 4 of them (maybe more) plus 4 sensor boards if you make 
them.

Anyhow, it's beauty is it's simplicity so a dedicated line out is 
-maybe- out of the question.

But an additional board with the sensors can be great, so one can use 
it or not.
I'd like to play it both ways, with the touch sensors and with anything 
else.
A board with touch sensors can be great when trying mods to the circuit 
so the reference touch surface is always the same.
