Hi! Has anybody gotten an update on what can be causing this error rather than loose wires? Because I have checked all the connections in my set up, and the same error appears. Also, I supplied the sensor with exactly 3.3 V from a variable power source, by measuring the voltage at VDD and GND pins of the chip. I have also tried changing the pull-up resistors of the SDA and SCL cables from 10K ohmns to different values down to 0 ohms and I still get the same error. Thanks in advance!

Thought I'd bump instead of repeating. I had this working fine and it suddenly stopped working about an hour ago with fdc.getCapacitance() returning -2,147,483,648 and "error" for each channel. I have not changed anything in either hardware or software. Any ideas what to do?
from fdc1004.
I am using the central section of the FDC1004EVM kit as the "chip", and I have GND and 3.3V from an Uno connected to the chip, and the SDA and SCL lines connected through a level shifter (5V -> 3.3V) and I've checked connections and voltages with a multi-meter and all seems to be correct. I previously had it working consistently without the level shifter for the SDA and SCL lines, though I am now using another chip in case that damaged it somehow. I should add that both chips are working with the Sensing Solutions EVM GUI.
I wrote a sketch that just uses the Wire library to set and read the registers as an experiment, and it looks like it is establishing the connection as I can read the POR values off the chip, including correct manufacturer and device IDs. The sketch is below:
#include <Wire.h>
void setup() {
Wire.begin();
Serial.begin(9600);
while (!Serial) {
// do nothing
}
printSeconds();
printAllRegisters();
delay(1000);
Serial.println("\nSetting register 0x08 to 0x1C...");
setRegister(0x08, 0x1C); // CONF_MEAS1 to CIN1
printSeconds();
printAllRegisters();
delay(1000);
Serial.println("\nSetting register 0x09 to 0x3C...");
setRegister(0x09, 0x3C); // CONF_MEAS2 to CIN2
printSeconds();
printAllRegisters();
delay(1000);
Serial.println("\nSetting register 0x0A to 0x5C...");
setRegister(0x0A, 0x5C); // CONF_MEAS3 to CIN3
printSeconds();
printAllRegisters();
delay(1000);
Serial.println("\nSetting register 0x0B to 0x7C...");
setRegister(0x0B, 0x7C); // CONF_MEAS4 to CIN4
printSeconds();
printAllRegisters();
delay(1000);
Serial.println("\nSetting register 0x0C to 0x01F0...");
setRegister(0x0C, 0x01f0);
printSeconds();
printAllRegisters();
}
void loop() {
}
bool setRegister (byte reg, uint16_t value) {
Wire.beginTransmission(80); // transmit to device #80
Wire.write(reg); // sets "reg"...
Wire.write(value); // ...to "value"
Wire.endTransmission(false); // end transmission
}
bool printSeconds () {
Serial.println("\n\n======================");
Serial.println((float)millis() / 1000, 2);
Serial.println("======================");
}
bool printAllRegisters () {
for (int i = 0; i <= 255; i++) {
if (i <= 20 || i >= 254) {
Serial.print("0x");
if (i < 16) {
Serial.print("0");
}
Serial.print(i,HEX);
Serial.print(":\t0x");
printRegister(i);
}
}
}
unsigned int readRegister (byte reg) {
Wire.beginTransmission(80); // transmit to device #80
Wire.write(reg); // sets pointer to "i"
Wire.endTransmission(false); // end transmission
Wire.requestFrom(80, 2); // request 2 bytes from slave device #80
unsigned int c = Wire.read();
return c;
}
bool printRegister (byte reg) {
Serial.println(readRegister(reg), HEX);
}
The serial output is as follows:

It's like when I try to set the value of 0x0C (FDC_CONF) it resets the chip? I've tried various other values as well. I have duplicated the process with the same FDC1004 used in the sketch above, but plugging into the FDC1004EVM I2C converter and modifying the registers via the Registers tab in the Sensing Solutions EVM GUI, and it behaves as expected (e.g. once I set 0x0C to 0x01F0, I see activity on registers 0x00 -> 0x07).
This is certainly a little out of my depth so I can't rule out making a rookie error somewhere. Can you spot anything that jumps out at you?

I had the same issue. I was able to sort it out using the following code segment. Note Wire.begin();
should be uncommented.
#include <Wire.h>
#include <FDC1004.h>
int capdac = 0;
FDC1004 fdc;
void setup() {
Wire.begin();
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
uint8_t measurement = 0;
uint8_t channel = 0;
char result[100];
fdc.configureMeasurementSingle(measurement, channel, capdac);
fdc.triggerSingleMeasurement(measurement, FDC1004_100HZ);
//wait for completion
delay(15);
uint16_t value[2];
if (! fdc.readMeasurement(measurement, value)) {
// calculate capacitance;
// The absolute capacitance is a function of the capdac and the measurement
// We only use the msb because the FDC1004 only has 16bits effective resolution;
// the last 8 bits are more or less random noise.
int16_t msb = (int16_t) value[0];
int32_t capacitance = ((int32_t)457) * ((int32_t)msb); //in attofarads
capacitance /= 1000; //in femtofarads
capacitance += ((int32_t)3028) * ((int32_t)capdac);
sprintf(result, "Raw: %04X %04X @ %02X\n ->", msb, value[1], capdac);
Serial.print(result);
Serial.print(capacitance);
Serial.print(" fF\n");
//adjust capdac
int16_t upper_bound = 0x4000;
int16_t lower_bound = -1 * upper_bound;
if (msb > upper_bound) {
if (capdac < FDC1004_CAPDAC_MAX) capdac++;
} else if (msb < lower_bound) {
if (capdac > 0) capdac--;
}
}
delay(200);
}
