FDC1004 Capacitive Sensor
PostPosted: Sat May 16, 2020 6:46 am     Reply with quote

Hello to everyone.
I also tried the last capacitive integration I have.
But I saw that the values in him also slipped.
I have tried MPR121 before.
His datasheet and appnotes are too long.
I made progress with the help of Ttelmah and temtronic.
But I did not get proper results.

The integrated FDC1004 I have just tried. Its code and datasheet are shorter.
I am throwing my own code below. Please tell me what I did wrong. The values I read are shifting by themselves. However, they should have changed only when the object approached.
I was unable to make any progress for the MPR121. I think this will be my last try.
Thank you for your help

Seriously, as pointed out before, a huge amount depends on the actual
design of your sensor. How the board is laid out...
Now that you have a second chip also experiencing bad drift, says to me
that you have not really got a good design.
Careful design of the sensor pads, can reduce EMI, and how much
things in directions that are not required, affect the reading.

Consider not using a chip at ll, but just using the PIC. All can do capacitive
sensing. For some the relaxation oscillator and counter approach, others
have the CSM or CTMU modules giving alternative ways of doing the
sensing.
Learn how the values change, and then write the code to compensate.
All capacitive sensors will drift. Temperature, humidity, and nearby mechanical
changes will affect the output. The key in the design is to have some way
to slowly adjust for such changes.

As Mr. T points out the actual sensor is CRITCAL and NO amount of code can compensate for a poorly designed/built sensor. You could fill a library with 1,000s of books written about 'how to design/build/calibrate' capacitive sensors and in the end it always takes a LOT of 'testing on the bench' to get it 'right'.
In addition to the design, you need to compensate for ever changing environmental conditions, especially humidity.
We don't know your actual requirement for the 'sensor' is, perhaps there's a better option, maybe IR, uwave, ????
