The very first beginning I was interested in the LDC 1000 the very first Moment TI came up with this chip. Who ever tried to build up circuits based on resonace the old traditional analog way will know what I like about this solution. I was thin...
This week I have installed Code Composer Studio 6.0.0. This is an Eclipse based environment for developing software for a number of Texas Instruments microcontrollers. I also installed the code from LDC1000-MSPLIB (LDC1000 Firmware Library for t...
I can't believe it's already week 4 of the challenge, but here we are. Michael Kellett's comments on my last blog post prompted me to do some calculations on the dimensions of my initial design. As such I have put off Matlab and actually 3D printing...
Here's a description of my project using the ultra-cool inductive sensor. Looking forward to getting all the pieces together!The ForgetMeNot! Key and Cellphone (Etc) Forgetness Detection and Prevention Device. How many times have you...
Start project, received TI kit, eagle license, ( thank you by the way).- first step:design my own coil to fit the place in a dock look. Define the mechanical holder.-Second step:make a board with a small CPU.
Hello again. This is the second part of my blog on the design of a USB microphone based on the LDC1000. I decided to make a single blog for weeks 2 and 3 since I haven't been able to spend a lot of time on the project these past weeks. Being sick...
Since my last post I have been doing some tests with the module and also did some research on using a custom coil. Below is a drawing of the device. The Detector Circuit will contain a microcontroller, Bluetooth module, LDC1000, piezobuzzer, hea...
Following is the idea of the application: With the TI LDC1000EVM module(s), I will build a portable, wireless metal detector. Using these modules will result in a much more sensitive device.A smartphone or tablet will be used as a remote d...
Link to Webinar VideoQ: Is there any way to get the read out of axial distance in mm? Or do I need to calibrate it according to my intended use?There is no way to read out the axial distance in mm, as this is highly dependent on the mechanics.Paramet...
Hi everyone, my name is Sammy Peiren. This is the first blog post for my entry in the inductive sensing design challenge. The basic idea is to build a USB microphone based on the inductance to digital principle. Since the LDC1000 provides a digital o...
First and foremost, thank you to all 53 applicants for the The Inductive Sensing Design Challenge. The applications were varied and of very high quality, thus Texas Instruments and ourselves have had to make some difficult decisions.The list of...
