Wire guide & H-bridge control

[RFsolution]

Hi Comwarrior

thanks for your information,

I will have a look for analog Hall sensors, never used them

Ofcourse with the LC coil detector like lego mindstorm, i can feed both detetor voltage to 2 ADC's separatly, maybe this is more simple ?

Can you point me to some often used analog hall effect devices ?

will google and Farnell a bit

Thanks

well, according to the datasheet the A1302 should work fine for your application.
5V only though, but it's linear 1.3 mV/G so for every 1.3mV on its output you have 1 gauss... if you used a 4V precision Vref (some pics have them onboard) then you could actually make your bot detect and measure the EM field.
Best yet, it cheep £0.99 each...

Here is the farnell link... http://uk.farnell.com/allegro-micros...sip/dp/1791388

Also, ontop of this... you don't have to use an AC circuit to drive the wire... you can run DC through it... thus saving even more time and money...

Thanks, I took a look and ordered a few to test, as the wire is buried I need to detect it at a distance of 10-20cm, I'm thinking to install 2 sensors about the same distance and then use 2 ADC's

I get back here if i did some tests
