Pinpointer with discrimination "Cat-FM" on ATMega328P

[void118]

Hi guys,

here Is my version of pinpointer based on Arduino PRO Mini platform.

You can find video here:

Firmware with schematics here:

interesting project , would it work on a nano ?

There doesn't seem to be any source code being offered by the designer, but I would think it could be converted quite easily.
The schematic is very simple, and it appears to be an off-resonance design.

Hiya all, Is there a PCB layout for this pinpointer? Regards, Marty.

interesting project, I saw that on the Russian forum you uploaded the updated firmware, would you be available to keep us updated here too, since on the other forum it is practically impossible to find the contents? thank you!

pcb designed for atmega328p
MUST BE TESTED.
I didn't put the LEDs on purpose, I don't see any use in the pinpointer
i replaced the transistors of the original scheme with bc547 and bc557, they should work anyway

Yes, It will

I didn't post source code because I use CodeVisionAVR for example, other one may use IAR or KEIL uVision oe Arduino IDE..., schematic Is realy very simple and MCU measuring frequency shift, In case of copper frequency will Increase and decrease fo Iron.....

I didn't made PCB layout because It's very simple and It depends which components you have, so I think It's not big problem to make your own design.

Of course, sure, here Is the link for new firmware, unfortunantely I don't know how to update my first post friend....

They will work,I've test It!

Dear friends,

here Is new, more stable firmware for this project, If you want quick reply, you can ask me In comments on my youtube channel. all comments and suggestions are welcome
