I have read microchip's AN1298 "Capacitive Touch Using Only an ADC (CVD)" and through it really cool if it works and why the hell i bought dozen of MPR121QR2 on Sparkfun.
I have no way to program bunch of PICs (i have to make pic programmer yet) but i have mighty atmega-based Teensy board. So i give it a try. Half an hour and IT WORKED.
The only external parts used are a piece of enameled wire and breadboard.

Here is the code:
https://github.com/ITikhonov/picfavr
ADC-Touch.py is a python script which controls teensy via usb and draws touch sensing data in graphical form on pc.
picfavr.s is a gnu assembler code for my usb interface to avr capable of reading byte from memory and writing byte to memory. Python script sends commands to it. This way i make it easy to experiment without wasting flash cycles.
cli.c is a linux-only (sorry) program which python uses to actually send commands to teensy.
If you are interested how to do that without all my mess with C just read ADC-Touch.py it's pretty straightforward what's going on on atmega side.
