high resolution flux gate magnetometer

high resolution flux gate magnetometer
This is a high resolution flux gate magnetometer based on the FGM-3h sensor.It is used to measuring variations in earth’s magnetic field.This project FGM-3h-sensor manufactured by Speake & Co. This sensor is a very sensitive flux gate magnetometer capable of a resolution in the nT range.it is so sensitive that it can not be used in north-south direction since the magnetic field of the earth is too strong in this direction.[more]

Homemade ECG

Homemade ECG
With an analog-to-digital converter and programming the PalmPilot interface. you can build your own ECG(Electrocardiograph).Here are actually parts that requires :One electrocardiograph circuit built, PalmOS type handheld computing device with serial interface.Four AA batteries (or another way to come up with 6 volts on demand).A DBST (or DBDT) switch, a 1 MOhm potentiometer, and telephone wire + jack.These components are used as a power switch, gain controller, and easy way to connect the electrodes, respectively.One Pontech SV203 robot controller.A box, if you are so inclined.[more]

Pulse Oximeter

Pulse Oximeter
This Pulse Oximeter uses ADuC7024 MicroConverter.Pulse oximetry (PO) is considered to be the “fifth vital sign” of health status.It is a medical device that measures the amount of oxygen in a patient’s arterial blood.A typical oximetry sensor has a pair of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) facing a photodiode through a translucent part of the patient’s body, usually a fingertip or an earlobe. One LED is red, with wavelength of 660 nm; the other is infrared, with a wavelength of 940 nm. The percentage of blood oxygen is calculated based on the absorption rate from each wavelength of light after it passes through the patient’s body.[more]

50 MHz microwattmeter

50 MHz microwattmeter
This is a simple microwattmeter. Input range -75 dBm to + 5 dBm. Frequency range 2 to 50 MHz. Level resolution is 0.1 dBm, frequency resolution is 10 kHz. Log-output about 0.5 - 3.5 Volt. Output for external counter. The meter uses a AD606 as log-converter, a MAX186 as ADC, a PIC16C84 as controller and a HD44780 type LCD. The PIC measures frequency and level of the input signal and calculates level in dBm using frequency-dependant factors.[more]

SPI2CF - WLAN for AVR

SPI2CF - WLAN for AVR
This is the complete WLAN solution for AVR and other CPUs.In this page you will be found about equipping an Atmel AVR microcontroller based system with a Prism WLAN interface. The document is intended for people that already have experiences with the AVR microcontrollers and teaches them how to add a cheap but flexible WLAN interface to your AVR projects.[more]
