Description

  • Signal generator and sensor soldering kit for a perimeter wire 
  • Detection wave frequency can be varied with the on-board potentiometer
  • Can be interfaced with Arduino (0-5V analog output)
  • Perfect for DIY lawnmower robots
  • Requires soldering
  • Perimeter wire is not included

This is a nice soldering kit to build your own signal generator and sensor for an electrical perimeter wire. The generator board is based on the popular NE555 Timer and the sensor board is based on two LC (tank) amplified circuits. Can be used with DIY Robot Lawnmowers. A processing chain (amplification, filters, comparison) makes it possible to determine the position of the robot within to the wire. Note that the perimeter wire is not included, but it comes with the through-hole components.

Great product, great price, lots to solder

Great product, great price, lots to solder. Would've been nice to be able to pay a bit more to receive a fully assembled PCB although I knew beforehand about this.

Wish this kit came assembled

Wish it came assembled. I haven’t got to check it out but. Looks like it will work as long as assembly goes well.

Doesn't work. Don't waste your money (but mostly time)

I've bought 4 of these kits. I've soldered them together all per the instructions. The receiver PCB does not work as advertised! I'm getting a steady voltage of 3.8V on the signal lines even with no sender PCB.

Saved me oodles of time

Super product. Well packaged. Easy to follow assembly guide, when combined with the blog post about the kit. My one complaint is that the output of the sensor is a waveform, not a steady DC level that I was hoping for. In order to use the output of the sensor kit to be read by a controller, such as an Arduino, you need to add one more bit of components. I was able to create a simple RC filter that leveled out the waveform to do what I needed. These two components would have been a lot easier if they were part of the base product. Overall quite pleased. Fast delivery. Quality product.
