I want to build a DIY cable detector (I don't wanna buy one, even though there are cheap ones).
e.g I have a cable coming out of a wall and I want to find out where it ends.
I tried
this one, but no...it can't detect a cable.
So (trying to avoid building a bunch of 'detectors' that don't work), have you tried something that you could suggest me building?
I 'm thinking about
this one (creates a signal which is fed to the cable being detected. An AM reciever picks up the signal. Original article
here), what do you think?
Or
this one.
Or
this one (on page 2).
Has anyone tried any of these? (or something else and worked fine)
