The Magnetron Geoscanner Basic V2 hardware architecture is designed around a dual magnetic sensor configuration, allowing differential magnetic field measurement and improved anomaly visualization.

The system uses two high-sensitivity analog fluxgate magnetic sensors connected to a 16-bit ADS1115 ADC module. Compared with the previous generation, the high-resolution ADC provides better measurement stability, reduced noise, and improved sensitivity.

An Arduino Nano handles sensor acquisition, calibration routines, and communication with the user interface.

The visual interface is powered by an ESP32-S3 touchscreen display, providing a standalone portable operating experience without requiring a computer during scanning.

Main hardware components:

The complete electronic architecture combines compact size, low power consumption, and high measurement accuracy for portable magnetic field surveys.
