IDX-PRO+VDI

[dbanner]

I have this schematic for a 2-tone mod, the schematic is titled "classic 3", which I think looks just about the same circuit as the IDX.

Hiya Walt,,,,Thanks for posting the files above,,,,Hope you don't mind me asking but does any parts have to be removed from the IDX PCB when you wire the 2 Tones pcb to it? I have 2 IDX's made and working but I'm wanting to redraw the pcb with the 2 tone board added to it so it fits in these enclosures that I have. Thanks, Marty

Just looked through all the files I have on the IDX and see NOTHING about a 'Two Tone' mod.

Are you thinking of the TGSL's 'two tone' mod?

I would however, recommend the VDI Roderico designed and coded with a graphic display.
I run the VDI on my TGSL and a is really great help when trying to dug good targets out from junk.

The SilverDog PCB is based on the "Whites IDX Pro" PCB.
The schematic I have that should be correct for this PCB is:

As with many projects in this forum, many people have contributed therefore many versions get posted.

Also check Dbower's web site for coil building info:

Thank you for sharing true schematics and PCB Layout. I made polish pi, Deltapulse 2 , clone pi w and felezjoo pi. They are real machine. But very difficult to balance coil when i make IB metal detectors. Thank you

I would go for the IDX Pro Silverdog sells a PCB for.
This one has probably been built by the most number of people.

Not sure on the Tone mod. Do build it WITHOUT changes First to ensure it works as predicted.

The VDI is a great addition. I built the VDI for a TGSL and it is very nice to have in helping ID targets.

I build the pcb, but I don't know which is the best, I found 3 of them, called white's, dexxter and another unnamed,and I don't know which one to use, same thing for the components, in the schemes I have found there are different components

[waltr]

I would like to start building this metal detector, I found several schemes with different components and various pcb models.


do you recommend the scheme with the best components and the best pcb?


i also build vdi and tone mod

This is my IDX PRO, made under the EDUARDO scheme.Coil - 27sm -2D https://youtu.be/NkdqAtK_pzs

Hello markantony
Please tell me which pcb version did you use ? and what's the coil gauge [ coil thickness ] of TX and RX
Your IDX pro is very deep and sensitive. therefore i want to make machine as an your IDX PRO
Thanks for your video

[Asanka Sanjeewa]

Dear Mr.
please show me which PCB version did you use ? and what's the gauge of TX and RX coil

Hi

On my TGSL, I used 2 didoes on the last filters in reversed position. It clips large signals of close and big objects, it works splendid, should work on IDX too. Dont forget that IDX has a center frequency of 7,23Hz in the filter stages with very high Q factor and narrow bandwidth, TGSL has 11Hz and wider bandwith with lower filter Q so it has a bit faster signal processing.

Thank's Nandor for explanation.
