I'm trying to build a Stm32 controlled Pi detector. Until now, I have made the TX part and I'm now in the step of reading the ADC data to detect metal and ignore the unwanted signals (EFE, GB, etc).
The MCU I'm using is stm32f407xx and I'm using one of its internal ADCs (ADC1) with DMA transfer....Today, 12:48 AM -

A few years ago, on this forum, I talked with participant Roderico on the topic of the target identifier, described the required tasks from the indicator, according to the principle of determining non-ferrous or ferrous metal. Roderico wrote the firmware, etc. But something prevented all this from being...05-02-2025, 09:50 AM

It is very difficult to find anything in the book that is not very interesting.
But I immediately decided on the Bipolar PI design as the first thing to focus on.
There are several reasons for that.
First, I like the idea of a "non-invasive" detection method because...01-07-2025, 08:56 AM -
Would this circuit topology work for such a task. In this circuit, Vout is proportional to V1*V2. The F.E.T's conductance are matched to within+\-5%
Can the circuit can be tweaked for X and R channel inputs to give target information.
What do you think? This circuit is featured...05-01-2025, 03:58 PM -
