The Arduino needs a little help to read the pulses from the tube in the form of a simple circuit. The circuit acts as a peak detector and the peaks last only about twenty microseconds.

A little over a year ago we’d written about a sub $100 muon detector that MIT doctoral candidate [Spencer Axani] and a few others had put together. At the time there was little more than a paper on ...

Using the power of Arduino, Evan Kale has ingeniously transformed a weed wacker into an Arduino-powered metal detector. This innovative project showcases the versatility and potential of Arduino ...

Switch-contact bounce is an unavoidable mechanical phenomenon and complicates the task of measuring contact resistance; this circuit uses a current source and classic analog peak-detector circuit ...
