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.

Delphi 7 example for testing the GPS L10 Click Board

0

The simplest way to test a GPS click board is to connect it to a PC by means of the built-in USB port. This program, written for Delphi 7, can be used to monitor the click board output messages. Use Disable Auto Output to stop automatic transmissions; Verbose mode to interpret fields.
