steal???

Not likely.
A friend borrowed it to me for 2 days to test it and see what is all about.
In 2 days (Monday) i am sending it back to owner.
Stealing is shameful!
Only low minded people do that.


What about schematic of your pinpointer?
Any link?

[Nupi]

For R2, you can take better 220k.

"Nupi give me the link to schematic and final version!"

That's a good question!!!

I think # 426.

Thread: Can pinpointer detecting thin chain?


But I'm not sure.

Now... let me clear up few things here people!
By latest occurrences i don't mean to insinuate anything!
I don't have bad intentions towards XP and V4.
I am only too scared for my detector and coil, because i am not in position to easily replace faulty parts.
XP coils and accessories are damn hot expensive!
I am not that rich!
Nor i have anybody here in this region to call and complain.
As part time "servicer" (smaller and easier services) i already experienced very bad situation and very bad and ugly attitude coming from such manufacturers towards small people and "third party" markets.
They'll do anything to flood you up with advertises and promises just to force you to buy their product, to waste your very hard earned money.
Once you do that; from that day further is like you don't exist for them anymore!
I am speaking this strictly from the perspective of customer from "third party" market. Not covered at all with customer services and customer care.
I am having very ugly experience with ALL brands! Literally ALL existing!
XP among them too.
That sad reality actually pushed us here to start learning and start making our own detectors.
That's how great Bulgarian production started at the beginning. Turkish too.
If they don't mind about us; than we don't mind about them too.
So... pretty bitter, soar and sad experiences with those "western" manufacturers. Ugly too.
...
XP Deus firmware version 3.2 so far proved to be pretty reliable and stable. I've been using if for quite some time. So far i had no troubles with it at all.
So several minutes ago i finally decided to stay on V3.2
Thanks a lot... but no, i will not keep V4 by now.
Cheers!

steal???

[ivconic]

I corrected "landed" to "borrowed". My English writings sucks BIG TIME!
What are other words for "borrowed" damn $%&!$"%$&#/ !!!

[Nupi]

because... i am back on V3.2 again!

Tell us why?!?!


answer:
"ionut_mtb's remark provoked me strong enough to surf the net and list several forums with same sbuject.
After 5 minutes i must admit; i am scared! Horrified!
Lot of reports of dead coils after the V4 update!!!
Whatever the reason... those people there can complain at local supplier within the guaranty period, i can't.
First... my Deus is almost 6 years old, any guaranty expired long time ago.
I can't talk to local servicer because... i am the local servicer!
Not official... because there is no official servicer in this region.
So...
I don't have any of new HF coils,
i don't have pinpointer (this one is landed for 2 days),
therefore i can't use any of new and important features carried with V4, except the ability to lower Disc under zero (on second though; i can live without it).
Why would i insist on V4 in this case? No reason!
Along with all these... i must say another thing that i noticed the other day, working with V4;
- it drains coil battery faster,
- when i switch from program to another program; occasionally it displays "No coil" for few second, than it finds a coil after a while. WTF!???
I noticed this at least 10 times that day, but somehow it slipped my mind to mention it as remark.
Just now after reading about similar issue i recalled about that from the other day.
Many THANKS to ionut_mtb because he gave me enough reason to investigate deeper.
Something is indeed deeply rotten and wrong in V4 update, so it seems.
So what i did in last half an hour?
I downgraded it to 3.2 again, from the same installer. Than i discovered (forgot about) that i have 10 different coils memorized on my remote.
I can't delete them from a list?!?!? WTF!???
So i updated it again to V4, successfully deleted all the coils from the list (finally easy method, though enough stupid) and than i downgraded it again back to V3.2.
I intend to stay on V3.2 for infinite period. Or at least until i obtain some of the new HF coils.
Hopefully in meantime guys from XP will deal with this issue and solve it for good. Otherwise...
So... we had a good time... MI-6 and me! Now is time to say goodbye!"

Another video... also not better than previous ones!


Why ????!!!

So, here you have a few video links from people who have made the nupi-pp.
If you make it properly then, 50 euro cent coin can detect on 10cm.

I tried to explain why; was not in my focus.
Now is too late to make another video, because... i am back on V3.2 again!

This is posted on xpdeus facebook page. i ask them what about if we updated yesterday? what should we do? no answer yet.
After i updated yesterday one friend of mine deus i was playing with the 5tones adjusting the tones and thresholds, suddenly become unresponsive the display. i had to turn off and on again. i did not spent time outside in the field to see if any problems.

I've updated 2 Deus-es the other day and after that we went outdoor with them.
So far we haven't noticed any issues.
But... it is never too late!
