Hi, I would like to measure the humidity of beans ,I am using the sensor I took from a coffee meter (which was used for measuring coffee humidity),I want to display the measures on the LCD 16*2;
Help me for this.I want to use CCS C compiler

Thanks!!
 


How is your sensor ? What kind off signal they bring
I am using the oscilloscope for analyzing the type of signal but nothing I detect,so I want to know the technique which is used for measuring humidity using an oscillator ,my case is the oscillator of 1.3MHZ,when I load beans in the container this frequency comes to 940MHZ this goes one input of the Microcontroller;secondary the sensor which is placed in the container (container has a form of cylinder) is also connected on the other Microcontroller input through an Resistor which is conected to a capacitence which is second pin is on the ground.
I think there is a technique which is used like capacitive method depending on different connections which can be established;I f you want I can take a picture of the sensor I have but unfortunately I dont have its specification number.


For it one pin goes to the microcontroller the second goes to the ground.

Thanks

The problem where I am I can not find where to buy those components,so I took one from that equipment which I know is good
 
See,Mr. pasicr and ebclr in my area I can not find sensors,useful information I now have are as follow:
1.Frequency for the oscillator is there when I load the grain in my equipment,the square wave I get have 1,4 as voltage and is constant (does not change)
2.With my meter(ohmmeter) I tried to measure the sensor I saw that its resistance increases when I load the grain;the initial value of resistance is 9Kohm after loading the grain I have the resistor attain 10,280Kohm;is this a resistive -relative humidity sensor?Is there any method which can be used in order to determine the relative humidity referring to the frequency because when I load the grain the frequency reduces from 1,5Mhz to 1,2MHZ.or this freuency can be related to the weight of the grain?

Hope from this you can help
