Other Parts Discussed in Thread: FDC1004
Hello,
I have tried to use the fdc1004 board to measure the level of liquid inside a bottle. There are several application notes that states how to do so and I am almost sure I have done it correctly.
The way I did it was to make 2 electrodes for a level sensor and 2 electrodes for a REF sensor. I made these from copper foil tape. the level sensor is approximately 8 cm and the REF is about 1.5 cm.
I have connected one of the levelsensing electrodes to cin1 and the other to shield2 and for the REF, I have connected one to Cin2 and the other to shield1.
But for some reason, I cant seem to get a difference in the GUI's capacitive measurement. I can get an instant respons but as soon as I stop puring water, it kind of resets and go back to the capacitive output it was at at the beginning.
Am I doing something wrong or is there a reset function that I cant find in the GUI?
Thanks in advance!
