Arduino Touch Sensor Guide

This Arduino code uses a touch sensor and servo motor. It initializes the touch sensor pin and servo pin, and creates a servo object. In setup, it configures the pins and attaches the servo. In loop, it reads the touch sensor state and moves the servo to 90 degrees or 0 degrees depending on the last state, printing a message when the sensor is touched.
