This project implements a loop oscillator circuit and a buried loop coil to detect large metal objects (such as a car). External components are kept to a minimum and oscillator frequency detection is done in software. This project uses a mikromedia plus for STM32 board with shield but any other fast MPU board should work.

Vehicle detection by means of inductive loops in the pavement is not new. This technique has been used for many years and is still in use today.

Applications include sensing cars in left turn lanes to provide advanced green arrow signaling for left turns. Another application is counting cars on a highway for flow control or general road maintenance. Some lesser applications include garage door openers and parking lot security systems.

8-Digit 7-Segment LED Display in a mikroBUS Format

5

Sometimes you just need a long numeric LED display with up to 8 digits. This example provides manufacturing files to construct two PCBs. One with the appropriate driver circuits on a mikroBUS format board and the other with a row of LED modules that can be mounted remotely.

Using a Shaft Encoder with MINI-M4 for STM32

0

This example shows how to connect a shaft encoder to a MPU board and provides a state machine decoder that can be used for many useful applications where a rotating dial inputs positional information. This data can be used for display purposes or for converting into analog signal by passing it to the internal DACs.
