Hello, I start working with arudino 3 weeks ago and I dont know a lot about it but I got a homework to do a metal detector with that coil basis on Arduino UNO. Two left Pin is from small coil (7,2 Om), pin in the middle is probably 0 and two pins od the right is big coil (21,1 Om). Is this even possible to connect that coil do the arudino? Im searching on the net but I cant find anything. Can someone help with some scheme or something like that? Thanks for help!
Perhaps if you sent a pulse through the central coil and detected it's level in the outer coil? What test equipment do you have to aid in developing your project? Did someone also give you the mating connector for that plug? Otherwise you will have to destroy the connector to connect directly to the wires.
Are you asking for someone to do your homework?
Is there something wrong with your keyboard?
My "search" skills seem to be better than yours... might just be my keyboard?
"arduino" based "metal-detector" - Search (bing.com)
For Uno:

Yes, but without the rest of the metal detector circuit, it won't do you much good.
Please post the homework assignment. It is very unusual.
I did not get any test equipment. My teacher just say "Take that coil a try to make an metal detector basis on arduino". Yes, I got an conetor to that plug but I dont know how to conect it with the arduino.
No, I'm aksing only for some little help because I dont know how to connect that DIN 5 plug to arduino.
I found it also but diffrence between these projects and my is that, they got only 2 pins from coil, 0 pin and puls pin. I have 3 pins, 0 pin, Tx pin and Ty pin. Im looking for little help how to conect that din 5 plug to arduino.
My teacher just said " Take that coil and try to make an metal detector basis on arduino" soo I dont havy any other informations about this. Whats parts I need to conect that coil to the arduino?
- Examine the coil carefully: look for manufacturer or model or something unique to identify said coil.
- Use a DVM to map-out the pin connections; that is "Ohm-it-out" and sketch what you find.
I think your instructor is expecting an innovative approach to "hack the coil" and then implement a "public: search of Arduino posted "metal detector projects."
If the coil is just one coil of wire, then only 2 pins will be identified using the DVM. If the coil has a "tap" then poking around on the plug will show a pin that has a lower resistance to the other two pins... use the lowest setting on the resistance-scale and pencil 'n paper to work out how wires are connected.
For (complicated) example:
I would suggest you begin by doing a lengthy Internet search on circuits published for "Arduino" + "metal detector" and examine how various search-coils are constructed.
Example:
Investigate the articles and wiring diagram to become familiar with the coil circuitry. Then, use that DVM on the coil connector and try to match the connections to what possible circuits you find.
