Hi Rogue,
Good point. My idea is to make a touch sensitive lamp. So I detect a touch from the user and turn on an LED in response.
I have one of these attached to my RasPi

So, I would detect different touches (since there are 12 points to touch) and make the LEDs glow in 12 different patterns.
So I purchased the touch hat, got it soldered and fixed it onto my RasPi 3. When I run the i2c detect command on the pi, I see the matrix but everything is empty. I hope this makes the issue clearer.
