Hi I have a whites IDX PRO detector and I would like to put a better VDI display with numbers rather than the blocks on the standard LCD screen.
Can anybody suggest suggest the best LCD VDi to use from this project.
Can I use the Lugatek DM-1 kit on this detector yes/no complicated to attach etc ??

Regards kycoin

Hi I am making my first coil and have a few questions.
It's going to be a 27cm DD. I have made a jig with the shape from in the TGSL_101 instructions
Found several different winding in this thread but they are close so
TX=35 turns 0,70 +1uF parallel
RX=270 turns 0,18 +33nF parallel
My questions are
1 Do I wind both the same direction
2 Each coil will have a start and a finish (TX start TX finish) (RX start RX finish) what pins on the connector do each go to.
3 Should I shield the TX as well as the RX
4 Which pins should the shield be connected to
5 If I stack the coils side by side as the come of the jig and open them out to make the DD shape. Is this right or will one have to be flipped over.
6 At the overlap one will be at the bottom should this be the TX or RX or makes no difference
7 The coil will be used on a 6000d and a silverdog does it make a difference which I set the frequency and null on.

Wouldn't make much difference. Pick any.

What BC327 to use 16,25 or 40, and what BC547 to use A,B or C ?

I like making the metal detector, but we buried a lot of depth, generally more than 2 meters, I help you with a great depth of production of metal detectors, either PI or VLF. I hope you can help me, I am grateful to you

with the "sprint layout viewer" you can view and print the layout. but you can not edit layout. the program is free.

I hope this helps.

well check shielding two coils they do not touch and check the direction of connection also tx start , tx end , rx start , rx end .

i've build my self same design silverdog , have found reversed 1n4148 fixed it look like working but
still have problems , if itouch G.B. pot then creepy speaker , if i wave something metal near the coil
then nothing if i wave it near the board then it beeping correctly, how come the board acting like the head?

@ daxxin

maybe you should post pictures of your board. do you have silver dogs board?
