Circuit Setup

Connect the Metal Detector Coil to Arduino Mega:

Instructions

Circuit Setup:

Connect the Metal Detector Coil to the Arduino Mega as described in the circuit setup section.

Code Upload:

Open Arduino IDE and create a new sketch.

Copy and paste the provided Arduino code into the sketch.

Upload the code to the Arduino Mega.

Testing:

Open the Serial Monitor in the Arduino IDE (set to 9600 baud).

Observe the Serial Monitor for readings:

  • No output indicates no metal detected.

Applications

Notes

Ensure the metal detector coil is positioned correctly and calibrated for optimal sensitivity.

Adjust the detection threshold or sensitivity based on the size and type of metals you want to detect.

Experiment with different coil designs and configurations to optimize performance for specific applications.
