Test Circuit:
|
|
|
|
10pF 100K 1M
|
|
FPin ───┳──┳── SDF(sigma-delta feedback)
|

Test Coils:
|
|
|
|
Wire used was the "Radio Shack Special" GREEN (about 27 gauge)
|
|
|
|
25T (Coke Can form) = 2.1MHz
|
|
15T (Coke Can form) = 3.9MHz
|
|
5T (Coke Can form) = 5.3MHz
|
|
50T (BIC pen form) = 3.2MHz
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
How does it work?
|
|
|
|
Note: The reported resonate frequency is NOT the actual resonate LC frequency. Instead it is where the voltage produced from
|
|
the LC circuit was clipped.
|
|
|
|
In the example circuit below:
|
|
|
|
C L
|
|
A ────┳──── GND
|
|
│
|
|
B
|
|
|
|
When you apply a small voltage at a specific frequency to an LC circuit (at point "A") that is at or near the resonate
|
|
frequency of LC, it is not uncommon to measure 10's or 100's of times the amount of voltage (at point "B") that you are
|
|
applying to the LC circuit. (at point "A")
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the "Test Circuit" above, point "B" passes through a diode which then basically feeds a divide by 2 voltage divider:
|
|
|
|
100K 100K
|
|
B ───┳── GND
|
|
│
|
|
C
|
|
|
|
...So in order see the sigma-delta ADC "clip" the frequency sweep result, the output from the LC circuit only needs
|
|
to generate about 6.6 Volts above ground. (0.6V drop across the diode, and since the ADC is only sensitive to about
|
|
3V, it works out to be about 6.6V after the voltage divider.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
A typical magnitude plot of a frequency sweep applied to an LC circuit might look something like this:

|

|
|

|
|
|
|
...The 'X' denotes the location of the reported resonate frequency. The reason this is slightly off is for
|
|
two reasons really. 1) lazy - I didn't want to fiddle with the voltage divider combo... adjusting so that the
|
|
"peak" was also where the ADC happened to "clip". 2) some benefit - When you apply a frequency to a tuned LC
|
|
circuit that's resonate frequency is the same as the applied frequency, the LC acts like a dead short. A
|
|
situation not exactly great for Propeller I/O's
|
|
|
|
Now that we have that out of the way, what happens next? How can we use this so called "coil" as a sensor?
|
|
|
|
If a frequency sweep is initially preformed to determine the resonate frequency clip point, then it just so
|
|
happens that adding additional "metal" (<- Does not need to be ferrous) causes the resonate frequency to shift
|
|
to a HIGHER frequency.
|
|
|
|
Once you determine the "clip" frequency and you use one of the available counters to constantly feed that
|
|
particular frequency back to the LC circuit, the resulting ADC output is proportional and somewhat linear when
|
|
metal objects are introduced to the coil.
|
|
|
|
Assume frequency increases from Left to Right. With a slight resonate shift to the right, the ADC reports a
|
|
lower "de-tuned" value because the voltage magnitude no longer "clips" at the reported resonate frequency.
|
|
Typical ranges are full scale between 65535 (no metal) and 0 (metal saturation)
|

|
|
Slight shift to the right
|
|
|
|
I also made mention that the response is somewhat linear. As the LC resonance shifts and the ADC value begins
|
|
to lower, the slope is steepest near the "clip" point. Therefore, the slightest shift results in larger value
|
|
changes. Since the coil is actually the least sensitive to metal the further away it is (Law of squares) and
|
|
most sensitive to metal the closer it is, the resulting combination acts to linearize the output. I need to
|
|
point out that some LC combinations will exhibit plateaus and other anomalies caused by varying parasitic circuit
|
|
conditions that will affect the overall output, so a little bit of trial and error is necessary to get things
|
|
the way you want them.
