Magnetron Geoscanner Basic V2 is a portable magnetic field imaging system developed for geophysical exploration, education, research, and experimental magnetic surveys.

The system combines dual high-sensitivity fluxgate magnetometers, a 16-bit ADS1115 analog-to-digital converter, Arduino Nano control electronics, and an ESP32-S3 touchscreen interface.

Unlike conventional magnetic survey instruments that require post-processing on a computer, Magnetron Basic V2 generates real-time magnetic heatmaps directly on its integrated display.

The user can scan an area using adjustable measurement grids, instantly visualize magnetic anomalies, and store measurement data on a microSD card. The collected data can later be analyzed using the custom Magnetron PC Suite software.

Main Features

• Dual fluxgate magnetic sensor architecture
• Real-time magnetic heatmap generation
