Magnetic Imaging Tile

Cost 149.95$

Technical Description

The Magnetic Imaging Tile uses an array of 64 hall effect sensors to convert magnetic fields to the visual spectrum. This allows the user to see magnetic fields in real time. As is to be expected, there are caveats: the magnetic sensors used on the tile are some of the most sensitive on the market but being within 1 to 2 centimeters of the tile is required to get a good image.

Limitation/Features

  1. Powered with 3.3V to 5V
  2. Uses approximately 150mA during sensing at 3.3V
  3. Size: 52x34mm
  4. Boards can be tiled next to each other to increase field size with a one ‘pixel’ gap between boards.
