Make a sensor at home

Former Member

Hi,

  Please i am asking if there is a way that a sensor could be made at home that is DIY sensor or can they be only manufactured industrially

  • There are all sorts of projects that involve wire coils and a bit of circuitry. For example -- a fluxgate magnetometer:

    Yeah -- I know it's a kids site -- but I bet it works.

     

    Circuit Cellar had a Proton Magnetometer design -- I have the Issue -- May 20xx  something or other. Very sensitive and suitable for mineral exploration work even.

     

    There are lots of projects with reed switches (magnetic) and wire coils for proximity -- and limit switches.

     

    Float switches and circuits for tank levels, overflow and sump pump.

     

    The manufacturing process is about making a consistent product.

     

    Most work today for embedded engineers is in commercial use/programming of the refined designs of these products.

     

    For this one -- the search engines are your friend.
