Development of an integrated device based on the gain/phase detector and Arduino platform for measuring magnetoelastic resonance

Abstract

This study presents the development of an integrated device for measuring magnetoelastic resonance, utilizing a gain/phase detector and the Arduino platform. The device stands out for its simplicity, low cost, and efficiency. It employs the Arduino's ATmega328P microcontroller, coupled with the AD8302, and an intuitive graphical interface developed in Python, which facilitates the measurement of magnetoelastic signals in sensors. The device's validation is carried out through measurements of mass deposits on magnetoelastic sensors, confirming its accuracy and functionality. This advancement offers a practical and portable solution for detecting magnetoelastic resonances, promoting the use of these technologies in field environments and in diverse scientific applications. The integration of components into a compact, robust, and low-cost electronic circuit, along with an easy-to-operate graphical interface, significantly simplifies the complexity of the components, making the equipment complete and readily operational.
