    Simple coil question (I think)

    If this is true, it doesn't currently help me with my meter issues. Last night I managed to get a few reading again, but they were all lower than 100, and never the same even when retesting without changing anything. Some time 60 kHz, sometimes 20 Hz, various reading in between. I think the...

    West Monroe, La. I'm trying to think what type of local business would use one of these but I'm drawing blanks.

    Simple coil question (I think)

    I tested the fuse and it is good. I also manually set the meter to the range the coil should be in. Still no reading. Gave up and rewound the coil. Hooked up the meter and...162 kHz! Yay! Unwound about ten turns of wire, snipped it off and...0.0 again. I think dr pepper is closer to the...

    Simple coil question (I think)

    Fluke is a 112. The Radio Shack is a 22-811 (don't see a model #) Both measure frequency, but the Fluke has a lower limit. Surprised me actually. Can't justify an oscilloscope....yet. I've had a ball with this so far, and already have a few more projects lined up. But first I'm going to...

    Simple coil question (I think)

    I'm very new to electronics, but have always been into making things. Recently decided to try a DIY metal detector I found on the net. Fo far, everything from making the PCB to wiring everything together has gone fine. The plan had two coils - a detector coil and a reference coil. The goal...
