Summary of Arduino EMF Detector
This Arduino EMF Detector project involves assembling a circuit with 10 LEDs and resistors to detect electromagnetic fields. It uses a solid core wire as a probe and is powered by a battery for portability. The author plans to create a custom PCB and has shared modified code to work with specific Arduino pins. The project is ideal for quick DIY EMF detection and ghost hunting.
Parts used in the EMF Detector:
- 10 - 330 ohm resistors
- 10 - LEDs
- 1 - 3.3M ohm resistor
- Solid core wire (probe)
- Breadboard
- Wires
- Battery and connector for Arduino
- Arduino board
Here’s a small, quick project you can do with an arduino, the EMF Detector!
Step 1: Circut
- 10- 330 ohm resistors
- 10- LED’s
- 1-3.3m resistor
- 1-Solid core wire (this will serve as the probe)
- breadboard, wires, battery & connector for arduino to make it portable
Step 2: Hooking up EMF
I can’t tell you much more at this point. I left the circut diagram so you can figure the rest out. I will be making a permanent PCB for this EMF detector. I will upload picture’s of the board layout in a few days when I get it done. Any questions leave them, I am usually quick to respond. Happy ghost hunting y’all!
Step 3: EMF detector code
This code is available at http://code.google.com/p/makezine/downloads/detail?name=EMF_detector_bargraph.zip&can=2&q=
I did not write this code so I do no want to take credit for it I just built the prototype to my liking.
Step 4: Custom PCB for EMF
Here is the finished custom pcb for the arduino EMF detector.
Step 5: Hooking up to arduino
I changed the code and went from digital pins 2-6-8-10-12- gnd the on the analog side pins 5 and gnd.
- 10- 330 ohm resistors
- 10- LED’s
- 1-3.3m resistor
