Want to make a stud finder using changes in capacitance. We have a capacitance to digital converter (CDC) from Analog - they have app notes for buttons using capacitance change as an actuator, but nothing on stud finders.
I was wondering if anyone knows what a good geometry would be for an electrode to detect capacitance change (or a good reference to use) - these chips have a Cin+, Cin-, and an excitation excitation pin in the middle. Thanks!
