RobotShop Perimeter Wire Generator and Sensor Soldering Kit

Wish it came assembled. I haven’t got to check it out but. Looks like it will work as long as assembly goes well.

I've bought 4 of these kits. I've soldered them together all per the instructions. The receiver PCB does not work as advertised! I'm getting a steady voltage of 3.8V on the signal lines even with no sender PCB.

Unfortunately the kits I received were not complete. After receiving the replacement kits with the missing components (which were themselves again incomplete but I was only missing one of two capacitors each time so it was ok for me) the sensor wouldn't output any data at all except a steady changing value in the range of 780. Very disappointed. Comment RobotShop: We are very sorry to hear about the defective parts and our team will contact you regarding another kit!

This perimeter generator kit with its 2 sensors is well designed, simple to assemble, the plan provided is brief but sufficient... I tested with a small cable and an Arduino, it works well...now all that remains is to mount it on my robot mower prototype and test with a longer wire. In short, cheap, effective, I recommend!

Super product. Well packaged. Easy to follow assembly guide, when combined with the blog post about the kit. My one complaint is that the output of the sensor is a waveform, not a steady DC level that I was hoping for. In order to use the output of the sensor kit to be read by a controller, such as an Arduino, you need to add one more bit of components. I was able to create a simple RC filter that leveled out the waveform to do what I needed. These two components would have been a lot easier if they were part of the base product. Overall quite pleased. Fast delivery. Quality product.
