Yah, my wrist isn't up to it... but it would be up to using maybe 25%
or 30% of the range (twice what I'm getting now).

I think I can just spread out my reads over two frames... updating
the position every other frame should still be fast enough that nobody
notices the lag (33.3ms for NTSC, 40ms for PAL, still pretty fast).

I only need 72 paddle positions for the playfield I have in mind, so
reading the cap once every 6 or 7 scanlines, across two frames, would
be enough.

Will post test code, when I get time to mess with it...
