Pulse induction metal detector
Posted: Mon Feb 20, 2012 10:50 pm
Update: ment to post this under the "What are you doing with XMOS chips ?" topic but made a new one by accident, if a moderator want's to move it that's great.
Just saw this topic and thought I'd share some of what I've been doing with XMOS.
I am using the XMOS XS1-L1 to power a high performance pulse induction metal detector.
This type of metal detector requires a high performance multicore dsp processor as-well as
a platform that enables rapid and simple development and minimal support circuitry .
The XMOS processors fit this description perfectly!
Although I have working prototypes currently I expect at least another 6 months before I hit the
mainstream market which is high-end electronic gold prospecting.
Here's a pic of what the main board looks like, Sorry I don't have a pic of it fully populated but this will give you an idea of the layout. There is also 2 daughter boards that are not shown.
