From the engineer&#39;s point of view, I did never understand why there are only few active pickups and why not imtegrate the Amp and ADC into the guitar (also th...en-USTelligent Community 12https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/inductive-sensing/b/blog/posts/let-s-make-some-musicSat, 24 May 2014 16:17:35 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:85f4be7b-794e-4dce-acf4-2f93d3d982efshabaz1<p>Probably, it will sound different (since the two methods are measuring in different ways - an electric guitar cuts a certain amount of flux (so the magnet characteristics have an impact too) as the wire vibrates (so it depends on the wire position as it vibrates), that may be very different to the field from the coil with no magnet, using the LDC1000. I&#39;m sure it will work, but as a result the sound may have different harmonics (which are probably the reason expensive pickups cost a lot). </p><p>It is an interesting use-case however.</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=17765&AppID=111&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/inductive-sensing/b/blog/posts/let-s-make-some-musicSat, 24 May 2014 15:33:38 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:85f4be7b-794e-4dce-acf4-2f93d3d982efD_Hersey0<p>Good idea!&nbsp; Why not just separate the pickup coils and use those for your inductor.</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=17765&AppID=111&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
