The Micromag3 is a 3-axis magnetometer that measures the strength of magnetic fields in 3 directions. It can measure magnetic fields that are approximately the same strength as the Earth`s magnetic field. Common applications include orientation sensing and for sensing local disruptions in the Earth`s magnetic field, such as those caused by vehicle

s. The datasheet summary can be found here. The Micromag3 is manufactured by PNI Corporation and is available through their website for $50. ( ) It is also available at Sparkfun for $55. There is a similar 2-axis magnetometer available for $40-45 from PNI (depending on whether you buy the module only or buy the module on a carrier board) and for $50 from Sparkfun. For starters, magnetic fields are vector fields ”that is, if you`re measuring a magnetic field at a given point, that field will have both a strength and a direction. The Micromag3 can measure the strength of the magnetic field that`s perpendicular to the orientation of a single sensing element. Thus, by measuring magnetic field strength on three perpendicular axes, it is possible to measure the strength and direction of the field in three-dimensional space. There are probably four main situations in which you are likely to interact with magnetic fields. One, the earth has an inherent magnetic field. Measuring that field on two axes can provide north-south orientation, and measuring that field on 3 axes, in combination with some other sensors, can provide three-dimensional orientation. Second, large metal objects (such as cars), can disturb the local strength and direction of the earth`s magnetic field. Measuring changes in magnetic fields in a location can be used to detect the presence of such objects. Third, permanent magnets produce magnetic fields (usually...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
