I am interested in using the LDC1000 to detect the presence of large metal objects such as vehicles. Vehicles typically sit a couple feet above the ground, and I was wondering if the LDC1000 could be designed to be sensitive enough to at least detect the presence of a vehicle passing over it or not. It does not need to be an accurate measurement.
Current solutions use magnetic compass ICs to detect the presence of a vehicle by measuring changes in the magnetic field as the vehicle passes over. Could the LDC1000 be used in a similar manner?
