tommorichards Posted March 24, 2011 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

That sort of thing? Quote
icastle Posted March 24, 2011 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
tommorichards Posted March 25, 2011 Author 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
