Introduction Eddy currents are magnetic fields created whenever a current passes through a conductor. They’re usually found only in particular scenarios. the typically application is the conductivity testing. Eddy currents can be used for testing virtually any metal. They have several advantages over other testing methods. Eddy currents are fast, safe, and completely non-contact. Once […]

A couple of years ago Skytraq launched the NavSpark mini, a tiny (17x17mm) GPS module, that sold for $6. However, the company has now launched an even smaller module called Skytraq PX1122R, which  measures at just 16x12mm, and offers support for GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and Beidou signals, as well as Real-time Kinematic (RTK) relative positioning technique that enables 1-3cm positioning accuracy. The Skytraq PX1122R RTK GNSS
