IDX-PRO+VDI

IDX/VDI

Here is my IDX. Perfect discrimination, depth about 32 cm air test. Vdi gives a repeatable metal indication with steel, iron around 0- to minus 5. foil about 10, penny 25, US quarter 55. I still have to do adjusting to VDI board, I still cant get the pot to zero in. Im going to test it this weekend out on the farm. , I took some pictures, but I forgot hove to upload them.

I'll get some boards ordered
Just received some VDI boards, was going to play with it on TGSL/IGSL but will get the IDX boards as well to make it a complete project

Hi Eduardo,

are you sure R25=47 Ohm? (not kOhm)

Hello! After much research I will post here the latest update of this detector. I've done tests with the original coil Whites (Black Max 950 PRO) and detected a 1€ coin to 47cm in the air. The detector is very stable and does it perfectly Ground Balance. Discrimination is very good. Enjoy it all.

Was there any other change beside adding the 47 0hm and 100k resistors and additional pad at P5?

Why this project only for PIC microcontrollers??? Maybe possible convert firmware for Atmega8/16???

На-на-на-на! I have no objection, but...
Are you fallen from the moon?
Everyone knows that PIC is the best!
AVR is a waste
Put breath better!

I'm considering it
A smaller board for the VDI would be nice, similar in size to the LCD

I'll think about it this weekend

Off on my first hunt on ploughed land on Sunday, fingers crossed !

Good luck on Sunday!

Maybe, We will see the IDX-PRO & VDI into Silverdog's shop very soon ?

That sure sounds like good material for a project if you are willing to post some information on construction details, etc. Looks like there may be some potential.

It would be interesting to see if others get the same results or are able to make it work.

I just used values that Ivconic posted for his handmade quicksilver coil. Concentric coils are harder to build for me because the TX freq. changes when you change the turns of the bucking coil. On a DD coil , you set the TX freq. on the TX coil, then you just have to adjust for null.
