Build a Working Touchscreen at Home

In this video, I explain how a 5-wire resistive touchscreen works by building one at home. I show how the touchscreen can detect position, divide the screen into 4 regions, and turn on different LEDs based on where I touch. I also demonstrate how I can spell using the homemade touchscreen.
