Changes for Version 2 

This is still very much a work in progress however here are the major features that have been added or enhanced:

   - A 3D printed case has been designed for it making it a lot easier to build.
   - A graphical user interface has been created using the new M5StickC-Plus and a rotary encoder. The UI allows setting the scale, key and starting octave.
  - There is now an option to filter out adjacent key presses. This can be toggled on and off with a push button switch on the bottom of the case.
   - The touch keys are now made from bare hookup wire instead of brass. Insulated magnet wire can be used instead to help prevent damage from static discharge although I haven’t had any issues with that so far.
  - A second switch on the bottom is used to toggle pitch bending on and off. The orientation sensor for pitch bending is part of the M5StickC-Plus whereas before it was from a discarded drone controller (which is difficult to source and can be expensive). 
   - Total cost of the electronic components is approximately $100 US and all are readily available.

I said in my presentation that I would be uploading the source code for this project to Github but I have decided not to bother with that unless I get a few requests for it. If you would like a copy please contact me via my contact page and I will send it to you.
