Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TDC1000, TUSS4470, PGA460, TUSS4440, TIDA-00322, UCC27531-Q1
Good morning,
I am a first time user of ultrasound and so likely out of my depth but hopefully you can help with a simple application. I want to measure water level in different objects - glassware for leftovers, acrylic cup, etc... I bought the TDC1000-c2000evm and SMD10T21R111. When I downloaded the register file for the transducer I get this error. Can you please help?
If you have a base configuration I should be using, please let me know that as well. I used this too https://webench.ti.com/webench5/TDC/index.html?app=levelHead and reduced the levels for this application.
My readings are also strange... I hot glued the transducer to a cup and got some readings 38.58357 microseconds. I did the distance calculation and it wasn't even close to the liquid level. So I pealed it off and was playing around with holding it to different surfaces and getting some readings and it doesn't really change... I loaded the config.txt file and get new numbers 85.320709 microseconds but it doesn't really change if I release pressure on the side of the glass and move it around, or move it to another object. I'm such a noob but hope you can point me in the right direction.
Thanks!
Michael
