PIC24FJ64A004 cable tracer detect under ground cables

This project used PIC24FJ64A004 and Bonus Part MCP6S26. mcp2030, mcp1700 The Cable Tracer is device to detect underground cables. It was designed and tested on un-energized electric power cables but could be used on any underground cable. A 125 Khz signal is injected into the underground cable from Signal Generator.

The output voltage level of the Signal Generator will effect how deep of a cable can be detected. The Generator used in my setup was a HP 3310B which has up to a 30 volt output. I was able to sense cables buried around 2 feet with only a 10 volt output. The Circuit Breaker was turned OFF in the Panel box and the Signal Generator output was connected to the cable.
