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? Pramode --------- __________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
