Pulse Star II (first analog version)

[eduardo1979]

Hi Algan.
This detector's depth for detecting a coin is very shallow using a 28cm coil. This detector is designed to detect larger objects. You'll need to try a larger coil or a 1mx1m frame. I tested with a 1mx1m frame, and a 0.33cl Coca-Cola can was detected at 80cm. The coil I used wasn't specifically designed for this detector. I don't have any further details yet.

Thanks Eduardo. I recently spoke to a guy who had the original Pulse Star 2 and asked him what the depth was. He told me that a 10cm x 10cm PCB with a 1meter x1 meter frame in the air is 1 meter deep.

Otherwise it is true that there are two jumpers in the epoxy resin! So it happens that the device when we put all the original components back on the pcb records without the included coil! With the coil on it works normally! The only thing that can be noticed is that the battery indicator needle shows that the battery is not fully charged even though it is full. So I made a scheme to avoid those problems! I intended to solve the problem with the short circuit in a while when I have more time.

After a long time I decided to solve the problem that I described here.. I bought a defective module last year and these days with the help of x-rays I finally found what I missed, that is, the engineer probably made a mistake and in order not to do another pcb design he decided to fix the error on the existing pcb. I described the problem, and based on the scheme, the problem can be solved! I've said enough about the missing resistor! Do not ask where it is on the schematic, if the analysis is done well, the engineer can understand the problem! All other snags to make ps 2 work are artificial!

you shock me. where is the schematic to look? i have just one of the DISC part, but this russian guy made it does always mistakes, i do not trust him.
alhough i give you here a schematic i got from Ivconic.

Well, the scheme in this topic is that Ivkonik gave you my scheme, I'm the one who drew the scheme.

PDF schematics were made on 26/06/2015. and I received them and recorded them on my archive disk on 26/12/2015.
I got them in a fair trade with a friend from Turkey.
Everything else on this topic is empty talk.
...
And here is the pcb. You will notice that the comments on the pcb draft are in Turkish.
The date I received the pcb file is 27/12/2015.
(I was convinced it was 2013... now I see it's not)



Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!
You all now have the schematics and pcbs... enjoy!

PCB connections are correct, no error, work immediately without problems.
PCB files only require a little tidying up, not all holes are translated into "through-holes", there are elements that are in the wrong layers, etc.
I guess a friend from Turkey gave me those files during development.
So they just need to be moderated a bit, but the traces, vias, connections are all 100% correct.
Ok, don't worry, I'll give you everything on a platter, arranged...
pay attention to this one detail, these two rectangular parts of the print are there unnecessarily, they need to be joined.

Here are the sorted pcbs, these are the files that I directly use to make the detector.
The first detector I made with a set of all pcbs.
And then I left out the pcbs for the front and back panels.
I don't make them anymore.
Since then I only make "motherboard" and "disc" board.
And in the last few works I left out the "disc" board.
Although the "disc" board works alright; I left it out of my works because the PS2 serves as a "depth" detector for me,
there is no need for discrimination (which is not reliable enough on greater depths anyway).
"Motherboard_wirements.lay6" file will serve you for the final connection when you use only the mainboard because that pcb is
quite enough for the good operation of the detector.
If you want to test how the "disc" pcb works, just add it from above to the main board.
There are pin connectors and all you have to do is "plug" it into the main pcb.

[ivconic]

Here, I have marked "resistor arrays" in yellow, so that everything is clear to you, so that it does not confuse you.
I don't use "resistor arrays", I use ordinary resistors, placed vertically.

[ivconic]

And in this picture I marked in yellow the two pin connectors with which the "disc" board is connected.
It's your personal choice which pcb you put the "male" or "female" pin connectors on.
I put "male" on motherboard and "female" on disc board.

Examples like this clearly show how much we are; people, sometimes very irrational.
Here are the facts:
- An author from Germany designs and builds a PS2 detector. 30 and more years ago.
- The detector was good for that time, it caused great interest.
- For years, now for decades, people have been trying to clone that detector. Many people I know either personally or indirectly.
- I don't divide people by nationality or country. I'm not generalizing. I have good friends all over the world.
I have the most good friends in Bulgaria and Turkey. The largest number of cooperation and exchange of works and files I do with people from Bulgaria and Turkey.
- Over the years, I received a lot of schematics, pcbs and information from people in those exchanges.
- I got the PS2 files from a good friend from Turkey. And a few years later I got some files from you too.
- My only "sin" is probably that I didn't tell you then that I had those files. I considered it irrelevant, that's why I didn't tell you.
- You gave me some more files for some other projects. Do you remember?
You gave me both a schematic and a pcb from your personal work, remember?
Have I ever misused it and published it somewhere?
Of course I didn't.
When I want to publish something; before that I very clearly ask for permission.
I didn't publish your personal works, your detector, because I don't have your permission. Nor did I think I should publish it.
In this case you are terribly wrong, you have no idea how much.
Maybe you're angry because I didn't tell you that I had the PS2 files from before?
Ok, that's my fault then.
But that is not a sufficient reason for your behavior.
Orbit... I still think you're a good man deep down. But for some reason you are too aggressive and you burn too quickly.
I think you should work a little on controlling that over-the-top temper of yours.
What are we arguing about here?
About someone else's 30-year-old detector?!
About a detector that can be sold as a diy once every couple of years!?
For very little money.
Do you think that all this is worth this kind of argument and so many insults?
While other people cooperate and prosper; here we are the worst at resenting each other and arguing over completely irrelevant nonsense!?
Why?
So that the rest of the world would laugh at us and see how backward we are!?
Orbit, think about this. I know for sure that you are not a bad person. But you behave very badly on the forum sometimes, for absolutely no reason.
This is not about "millions"... this is about a totally trivial and banal thing.
An outdated metal detector, over 30 years old, which has long ceased to be as interesting as it once was.
I can't say the name of the friend from Turkey who gave me the files back in 2015 because I promised.
In the meantime, the man has serious health problems, he doesn't call often, and I pray for his health and recovery.
I won't insult you Orbit.
I won't even threaten you.
Because it's pointless!
Especially about such banal things.
I am turning 60 this year.
It would be very shameful if I behaved like that.
And your behavior here on the forum is up to you... but it does not serve your honor.

[algan]

The Pulse Star 2 has no ground balance and would not work well on ore. It would be better to develop the topic of improving the detector in this regard, I suppose, then maybe the discrimination would work in a more correct way. I have not tested its discrimination yet.

I apologize for swearing, okay, that's not my manners! But Ivice is not interested in ps 2 at all and absolutely, do you understand? The problem is that the drawing that I sent you and on the basis of which you are making the pcb was drawn by a friend from Turkey, this is what happened: many years ago I cloned a ps 2, and it didn't work for me from the first one, but after opening the second module, I removed the problem and the device worked successfully. You also have on the forum somewhere where I put the first pictures, what happens next, I will write the whole story... Namely, after the unsuccessful cloning, a man named Lena from Poland called me to talk with I exchanged files with him, i.e. I gave him my files, the pcb file, he in return sent me schematics and files for the device that he was selling through Kelico in the USA at the time, otherwise Lena also tried to clone ps 2 and faced the same problem that I had the first time and that's why I sent my files and wrote how to solve the problem, after that he called me from Turkey, who is still a good friend of mine, I can't mention his name because he said he didn't want to even Karl was informed about it by that friend from Turkey also had a problem with the clone, so I sent him my files that were drawn with thinner lines and sent him information about what and how the device should work, he compared his files and mine and modified his files and sent the modified files with thicker lines! And since I wanted you to draw a scheme because I didn't have time at that moment, I delivered those files to you! And that is the whole truth! I asked him, he is also my friend on Facebook and I am in touch with him if he sent you pulse star files, he told me that he never sent you anything?! And according to the drawing, he is not one hundred percent but a million percent sure that it is the file that he was drawing. He even got a little angry when he found out that I gave those files to you. Here, Lena, I think that he is still there. A man from Turkey can personally tell you and prove these facts! Just to be clear, I don't care at all whether you sell or not, etc. It annoys me when a person doesn't tell the truth! Secondly, you are seriously mistaken that I sell something, I used to, I don't sell anything anymore because I have no need to get annoyed with fools who take my time and give me negative energy.
