Abstract :
An experiment was set up to evaluate a sensor suite containing an affordable commercially available capacitance to digital converter and a simple custom-built capacitance sensor. A set of surface mount capacitors was thoughtfully assembled for evaluation purposes. The results show good short-term stability, allowing the effective use of the sensor suite in an object classification application.
