Hello,

I connected a 10M Ohm resistor between D3 and ADC
channel 0 and executed the capacitor charge/discharge
program. The result was the usual capacitor
charge/discharge curve
- the capacitance value computed was about 29pf. Is
this because of the S/H capacitor in the ADC input?
(the Atmega16 manual says its value is about 14pf).

Will this capacitance not create a problem when
measuring the capacitance of the `home-made' metal
foil capacitor?

Another question: is it possible to demonstrate
something like capacitive touch sensing?
