Mark... The very latest issue of Radio Electronics has an article
on connecting the Radio Shack Electronic COmpass to a computer system.
To make a long story short, they have an excellent discussion on
fluxgate magnetometers as a part of the article, including a description
as to how the windings are made (a control winding goes totally around
the core [ring] and a sine and cosine winding exist at 90 degree angles
to each other). Check out this article for at least a "feel" as to how
these devices are constructed.
