capacitance()

[Simulation]

void capacitance(unsigned short pin_from, unsigned short pin_to, float capacitance);

Description

Creates a capacitance between the specified pins.

Parameters

pin_from: the Custom Element pin where the capacitance starts.

pin_to: the Custom Element pin where the capacitance ends.

capacitance: the capacitance value in farads.

Returns

Nothing.

Example Code

The code creates a capacitance of 1uF between the pins 3 and 4.

void setup() {
    pinLabel(3, "IN");   // sets the pin 3 label to "IN" (input by default)
    pinLabel(4, "OUT");  // sets the pin 4 label to "OUT" (input by default)
    
    capacitance(3, 4, 0.000001);  // creates a capacitance of 1uF between the pins 3 and 4
}

void loop() {
}

Notes and Warnings

• The capacitance() function can be used with all the pins, even for the power and ground pins.
• The capacitance value must be greater than 0 F.
• The capacitance() function can only be set during the setup, and won’t change the pin mode, so be careful when using it with the pins defined as outputs.
• Any call to capacitance() during the loop will be ignored.
