Magnetic Field Meter
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Introduction
The field meter project is the design, programming, testing and the manufacturing of a micro-controller based magnetic flux density measurement device
This device incorporates three main sections, the sensor module, the processing module, and the display module. The sensor module is responsible for data input, feeding the processing unit with analogue readings in the form of voltages as a result from the Hall Effect. The processing unit that takes in those readings and convert them to digital signals then send out to the display module to display the result.

Development Procedure
This project will be designed and build in 5 smaller segments
- Single Display logic and circuitry / sensor module construction and testing
- Multiplexed displays layout/ prototyping (4 units of 7 segment displays, could potentially display values between 0x0000 -> 0xFFFF (0 -> 65534 in decimal)
- Programming Micro-controller to multiplex the displays
- Milling and populating the Display Unit on PCB
- Program the micro-controller to take in and process the voltages value from the Hall Effect sensors and convert them to be displayed
