"These are a series of USB interfacing modules that connect electronics in the real world to the virtual world of your computer. To me, they seem reasonably priced, and the support and documentation seems well organized.
Some examples are present for MAX/MSP, and a library of interfacing code for the majority of flavours of coding that people use (although ChucK isn't here, I'm sure if enough people notice these exist, it's a possibility!)."
The PhidgetCircularTouch pictured
"The PhidgetCircularTouch detects changes in the capacitance between the on-board electrodes and the object making contact. The side of the circuit board opposite the connector and components is the side intended for contact." You can find more info here
These look like they are using the a Qprox capacitance sensor. The entire PCB and layout for these boards along with BOMs can found in the documentation. Check into:

I've looked into the Quantum ones before, and these seem cool. Thing is, they are digital, how to hook these up in place of a regular old analog potenohmeter? Theres got to be an easy way???? There some out there that even light up under them so know what level its at, but damn if I could ever get it all figured out.
