DIY Gauss Meter

Play Video

In this video I will show you how to build a Gauss Meter. To make this DIY gauss meter, I will use a hall effect sensor, 5 volt voltage regulator and an i2c lcd arduino screen to make this homemade gauss meter. This arduino gauss meter will be used to check the pickup magnet strength of a guitars pickup by measuring the pickups gauss. The 5 volt voltage regulator uses a 7805 ic to regulate 9 volts down to 5 volts by using a 5 volt voltage regulator circuit . The hall effect sensor uses the five volts as a metering voltage to test the strength of a magnet. Guitar pickup gauss measurements help to determine the strength of a pickup and give a measurable number when duplicating pickups. I hope this video shows you how to build a gauss meter for your pickup projects. Thanks for watching.

Gauss Meter Probe and Box Build. In this video I will be building a box and Gauss meter probe for my DIY Gauss Meter. I will show you how I use a pen to build a Gauss Meter Probe for the Gauss meter using a Hall Effect Sensor. I will mount an I2C Liquid Crystal LCD into the box. If you have any questions please let me know. If you haven’t seen the Gauss Meter build video check it out below. Thanks

In this video we will do an Arduino tutorial on setting up our Arduino board for our Gauss Meter. This Arduino setup will include adding all the code for the i2c lcd and the Voltage Sensor. I built this Gauss Meter to meter the Gauss of Guitar Pickups by using a arduino, I2C LCD screen, Voltage Sensor and a Hall Effect Sensor. This is the third video in how to build a Gauss Meter series. All the code and products used for this DIY gauss meter is on my website below. Hope you enjoy the video.
