Hey guys,
Im using the LDC1612 to sense an aluminum tape triangle over a a plastic cylinder, the sensor coil is flat. The plastic Cylinder rotates over locking teeth so each "tooth" is supposed to be a certain part of the aluminum triangle, and I am only using one channel (one coil).
A triangle similar to the one below, but the aluminum metal triangle with the dx wrapped around on a plastic cylinder
Is the use case of using a coil to sense a aluminum triangle over a cylinder not recommended?
Could I expect similar values over multiple units, with the aluminum triangle not being flat?
EDIT:
I notice in my testing, if I power the sensor on with the skinny end of the triangle on the coil and move it in steps to the thickest part I get significant difference in results than when I power the sensor on starting with the thickest part on the coil and move it to the skinniest.
This is with AUTO_AMP_DIS disabled
