tommorichards Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Im looking for something simple that measures magnetic strength for pickups, maybe as well as polarity (not a compass) Does anyone know the name of what i am looking for? Ive searched the bay using some search terms, but im not sure if they are correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sort of thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icastle Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I think you mean a magnetometer, but I don't think they're very simple and certainly not something you can buy at your local Maplins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommorichards Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 I was thinking magnometer, but its all stuff for iphones and g sensors which comes up for it. I suppose i could try that bag thing. i now need a newton meter and a calculator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
