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.

UART Driver using Interrupts for MultiMedia PIC32MX7

0

The MikroElektronika libraries for the UARTs work well but they block the CPU from executing code until the function is finished. This can be a long time since the UART is generally a slow peripheral device. It's better to let the interrupt mechanism handle the sending or receiving of individual characters while allowing the CPU to do other tasks.

Ultra-Low Resistance Tester (micro Ohm Meter)

Electrical power generation and distribution companies require an instrument for testing power transformer windings and circuit breaker contact resistance during maintenance. This is a design for such an instrument. The mikromedia 5 for Tiva board is the perfect candidate as the Microcontroller with Touchscreen in the block diagram.
