Hi,
I would need some capacitive sensors 50 cm next to the Teensy, but it seems impossible to get repeatable readings then.
My guess is, that the additional capacity makes it difficult to track minimal changes of the total capacity.
Cat 6 cable does not help. A "well grounded" Teensy does not help. Differnet resistor values change the sensitivity, but not the repeatability.
Any thoughts, what I could try? Is it even possible?
I use the CapacitiveSensor library, 1k resistors at the reading pins, 4.7M at the shared send pin.
Thanks, Stefan.
