Earth Field
Magnetometer
Designed around
the CY8C22213
PSoC microcontroller, the Earth Field Magnetometer accurately
measures the strength of the Earth’s magnetic field. This magnetometer
effectively gauges minute variations resulting from solar storms,
which can affect radio and power systems. Additionally, the
Earth Field Magnetometer indicates aurora activity. By using
a flux gate sensor and an external electromagnet, the Earth’s
field is canceled out, and the system can detect a null field.
Therefore, the system is strikingly sensitive without needing
gain calibration of the flux gate sensor.
