6 Minute ReadIntroduction In several previous posts the physical principles describing the fluxgate magnetometer were introduced. We went on to construct a simple magnetometer based on a single fluxgate sensor, available from FG sensors in Slovenia. This was installed in a small thermos flask to provide some reasonable means of keeping the temperature fairly constant and data from […]

4 Minute ReadIntroduction Spectrum tubes are a very useful way to introduce science students to the study of the interaction of light photons with matter and the subject of optical spectroscopy. They are often seen in demonstrations in high schools and early university lab classes to teach the basic principles of quantum theory and atomic and molecular
5 Minute ReadUploading the Data to a Website If you have been following so far, at this point we should have the Raspberry Pi set up, configured, and the necessary program modules installed. This final post describes how to upload the data to a website or server. The simplest way to do this is to create a shell

11 Minute ReadIntroduction Well, it has taken me a few months to get around to finishing this particular project, but here are the final sections that I have split into two parts. In the Part 1 and Part 2 articles, we covered the basics of the fluxgate magnetometer (FGM). We explained how it can be used to
