You can get the Capacitive Touch BoosterPack for $4.30 and a MSP430 LaunchPad Development kit for another $4.30.
Total cost $8.60 includes free shipping.
Then you can just interface the Development board to the Netduino with a couple of jumper wires.

Before I embark on trying to hack something up to read from this device, I figured I would check if anyone else has a driver written?

I just got around to fooling with this and it isn't clear (to me) how to interface this to the Netduino. The video mentions interfacing the the USB but there are no details. I suppose I can look at their SDK but I believe it is C++ and would require some port to Netduino.
Has anyone actually interfaced this to a Netduino?
The easiest way to interface the TI chip to the Netduino is via the TTL level serial port, both boards have them.

TI provides a 'capacitive touch library', you may check that (I did not yet).Before I embark on trying to hack something up to read from this device, I figured I would check if anyone else has a driver written?

Is it just me or did I miss a thing ? The price is $10.
