Wire the FDC1004 breakout to an Arduino Uno using the following connections.


Arduino FDC1004 board
------- -------------
5V <-> VCC
GND <-> GND
A4 <-> SDA
A5 <-> SCL

## Uploading Arduino Sketch For FDC1004 breakout

1. Open the Arduino IDE to load the embedded code for Protocentral_FDC1004.

2. Click on File -> Open and Browse the .ino code for Arduino from Protocentral_FDC1004-master\arduino and export the application to Arduino.

3. Open serial terminal window, you should see the capacitance values obtained from the FDC1004 Breakout Board.
