Plume
Plume is an open-source electromagnetic 3D tracking system project done as a research project between 2012 and 2014.[1]
The project involved reverse-engineering existing electromagnetic tracking devices.
It uses AC (resonant) magnetic fields.
The software is composed of three parts: the client code (on a connected computer), the emitting base embedded software, and the receiver embedded software.[2]
The project used STM32F series microcontrollers from STMicroelectronics.
It involved research into resonant magnetic fields.[3]
Portions of the code were written in C and C++.
Hardware architecture[edit]
- The receiver circuit has three Analog Devices AD8656 amplifiers connected to an ADG794.[3]
Plume's transmitting coil has multiple layers.[3]
It used one or more H-bridges, specifically the STMicroelectronics L6206.
