Anyone used this stuff? I was researching how to build my own EMF detector and came across this stuff. Is it worth it?

tbh, this is looking far more exciting to me at the moment.

Better link.

edit>> Wait, this is ghosthunting stuff, right? Maybe this would be a better link...

edit2>>... only kidding. The cool thing about mbed (apart from it being a much higher specced micro) is that the whole software dev kaboodle resides online. No IDE to install, no special hardware to code the micro (apart from a bog-standard thumb drive). You can code from anywhere with an internet connection and a USB port.

thanks rob i'll take a look into that too

Added a better link to the tour page.

This looks like it may be even better quality, too. I'm weighing the cost of it now. The EMF detectors i actually want are $80 a pop, and im wondering even if i can bring this in under that, can i get it calibrated right....

Sorry, I have no idea about emf sensors. Do you have a link to the sensors themselves?

[Steve]

right this second i dont, but i'll compile a list of the decent ones and send it over to you
