TAPIR Sniffs it Out!
Ultrasensitive wideband E-smog detector
This electrosmog sleuth offers you two extra senses to track down noise that’s normally inaudible. TAPIR also makes a nice project to build: the kit comprises everything you need — even the enclosure, ingeniously consisting of made from the PCB proper.
Materials
Extra info / Update
Erroneously ‘R2’ is used two times in the schematics printed in the magazine. The bottom one (next to R4, labeled as 100k) should be named ‘R1’.
Components
The BOM (Bill of Materials) is the technically exhaustive listing of parts and other hardware items used to produce the working and tested prototype of any Elektor Labs project. The BOM file contains deeper information than the Component List published for the same project in Elektor Magazine. If required the BOM gets updated directly by our lab engineers. As a reader, you can download the list here.
