Touch Pin

Hi, I wanted to ask if it was possible to use the touch pins to detect touch when they are in pull-up or pull down mode with resistor, or more generally when they are not free but connected to an external voltage, for example 3.3V or 1.5V.
Thank you.

Likely not. Touch works by charging and discharging the parasitic capacitance of the pad; any non-trivial resistance will wick that charge away.

Thank you. Does it also valve if the PIN is connected to GND?

Obviously. No way to charge anything if the pin is shorted to ground.
