Magnetometer

[ohmdiver]

I am thinking of building an underwater magnetometer. Can anyone send me in the right direction?

Hi Ohmdiver,

This is just for starters. Take a look at the following DIY page:

There are some good articles on the website, the kit looks like a good starting point for your project

keep us posted I want to do a hand held mag this winter. Altrady have a boat tow.

Is anybody logging mag data vs lat-lon, without a pc, using flash card, data recorder etc. I'm not hijacking the thread, he's going to have to do something with the data after he builds his mag.

In the immortal words of Charlie Brown "AAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUGGHH!!!" I really haven't thought that far ahead yet. I am just starting to read now, and because I am thick, I may need to read it again.
I do believe I owe everyone a "Thanks" for thier input and suggestions.
I intend to end up with a boat tow type. (More work?)
