Electronics projects including magnetometers, Arduino, Raspberry Pi projects
Introduction In part 1 we covered the construction of the SAM III boards, the connections between the boards and incorporated the boards into a suitable box. In this post we […]
The SAM III Magnetometer – Part 2 Read More »
Introduction In several previous posts the physical principles describing the fluxgate magnetometer were introduced. We went on to construct a simple magnetometer based on a single fluxgate sensor, available from

Uploading the Data to a Website If you have been following so far, at this point we should have the Raspberry Pi set up, configured, and the necessary program modules
Aurora Monitor – Part 4 Read More »
Introduction Well, it has taken me a few months to get around to finishing this particular project, but here are the final sections that I have split into two parts.
Aurora Monitor – Part 3 Read More »
Introduction This is the second part of a project to build an Arduino-controlled constant temperature enclosure. In the first part of the project we set up the Arduino microcontroller to
