    Overview


    This board supports the capacitive humidity sensor application note AN1016. It measures the capacitance of a relative humidity sensor plugged into the board. The on-board microcontroller sends the measured and calculated relative humidity (RH) to a PC for display.

    The board can also measure small capacitors in different ranges of values using a dual slope integration method. The board can be modified, if desired, to achieve better measurement resolution.
