IDX-PRO+VDI

* I have already scanned over for shorts between components.
* I will check for Board Short at lunch.
* Battery is (2) 9V Bats in series which should be fine with the 7808 VReg - which is not hot.

I believe he means the PCB that was made wrongly, with a short on the PCB that needs cutting. I remember reading about it some time ago....
It is documented here somewhere....maybe someone better informed than I can help better....

jlsilicon you think maybe you have the ones with the short that you need to cut look there first then battery

I think my 2 Boards act like dead bricks.

I will post Photos of the 2 Silverdog IDX PRO Boards at lunch.

Maybe somebody can spot the problem.

Is there an image with a finished Board ?
- The above image has a portion pasted over.
It would be helpful to compare components to.

Thanks !

It seems that all components look installed correctly, including Pots, Switches and Coils.

Are there any Bugs or Needed Mods for the Silverdog Board ?

there has only been one bug that was over a year ago http://www.geotech1.com/forums/showt...046#post172046 and was quickly sorted

Well, I completed the second IDX PRO Board.

But, still no BEEP or Buzz yet - Nothing.
Everything connected, Coils and all.

Shouldn't I get some BUZZ if I adjust the Pots right ?

[ampirate]

Ok, question,

I just pulled out my second IDX PRO Kit from Silverdog (I had bought 2 kits last summer).
I found another new CAN OSCILLATING BUZZER - not a Clicking Piezo.
Is this what was INCLUDED in the kits ???

These do NOT make sense to USE - yes ?
They SELF Oscillate on their Own with only a HIGH DC Voltage ...

This is already driven by Oscillation fron the Circuitry.
I should be using a simple PIEZO or Speaker - YES ??

Unfortunately versions with all documentation have now been kept together.
I am just about ready to wire up the controls and found that picture but haven't
checked it against my board.

I have this BOM listed as pertaining to the silverdog board (though there may have
been 2 different ones);

So where is the PARTS LIST for this Board ?
- It does NOT match the Schematics ...
For example, What is R46 ???

R46 is 2,2k
Carefully read all 117 pages. You will find circuits and circuit boards. Do not expect someone to give you everything for granted.

I had your problem. I took a photo of the board and printed it out. Wrote each component down the crossed it of the photo to make my own list. Unfortunately I did not keep a copy and the board has changed slightly again.

golfnut did an upto date schematic awhile back can't search very well at the moment as on a mobile

I have this;


I think you could use a pot with a switch on it for Sens. Silverdog even
sells some (which I got for mine).

ok i got my boards from silverdog they are great smaller than i was expecting so thats a bonus. just if anyone knows how the wiring for power goes if you could help a bit you would save me some time. it looks like there is a switch wired to the board but it says p5 also theres a pot in the front called p5 so iam wondering is that pot a 100k with a switch if it is i still cant tell how all the holes near the power works. i don't know if you have pass me a hint please.
