Digital electronics and Analog electronics doesn't mix easily. A Microcontroller can't get analog values unless an Analog-to-Digital converter is used, however, you may find a little complicated the use of an ADC and it need lots of Input/Output ports. Some Microcontrollers, like the small 8-pin Microchip PIC 12F675, do have an ADC integrated, but it is expensier than a PIC without ADC. A simple solution is to use a RC circuit to measure the resistance or capacitance. Basically, a RC circuit is just a capacitor and a resistor. The circuit labeled A shows the most common RC circuit used. I like to use the B circuit, I get better results.

You can replace the resistor and use a thermistor to measure temperature (PTC or NTC), also a photoresistor can be used to measure light. Any kind of resistive sensor can replace the resistor. If you are using a capacitive sensor, just replace the capacitor instead of the resistor. How it works: Just connect the RC circuit directly to an I/O pin of the microcontroller. You can use a 33pf capacitor and 1k resistor. First, make the I/O pin as OUTPUT. Second, make the pin POSITIVE (+) for one milisecond. (Using a PIC at 4mhz, a 255-cycles loop will be enough). Third, Make the I/O pin as INPUT and measure how long stays as POSITIVE (+). An good application of this technique is my "One wire keypad":

The PIC will measure the RC value of the I/O pin. If the time measured is too long, that means; there is no key pressed. Precision resistors and Mylar capacitor is required to get exact values. You can see my " Security Keypad " uses a similar technique.
Instead of using a single I/O pin, I used an I/O pin for each row. Note: Measuring capacitance or resistance usign this technique is affected by the voltage.
