A while ago I bought this non-contact metal detector module from an online store to see how it functions, and what I need to build it. The cheap module I received from China had no instruction manual ...

The metal detector circuit shown here must represent the limits of simplicity for a metal detector, yet the design works surprisingly well. It uses just one 40106 hex Schmitt inverter IC, a capacitor ...

A traditional early project for someone discovering a love for electronics has been for many years a metal detector. This would mean a few transistors back in the day, but today it’s more likely to ...

Looking for a light project to teach young hackers some very basic electronics? Here’s a quick and easy weekend project, a simple metal detector! We all know 555 timers are very useful and pop up in a ...

If your system's signal processing requirements in-clude peak detection and amplification, consider a simple circuit that will satisfy both needs and save hardware. The single-supply circuit shown in ...
