Arduino based VDI!

VDI

I did this project a long time ago, but it did not work very well. The VDI numbering is erratic. I will publish my design here according to the source code. The original design that was published by the author, does not work, because it is not compliant with the source code. I had to research and redo the entire design to make the VDI work.
Enjoy.

The VDI looks nice! The Method of making a coilhousing is good too;-)

Nice project. Details here http://techniekendier.nl/metaaldetector_eng.php

Regarding connection to the R and X points in the TGSL board the author refers the reader to this forum but I couldn't find anything.

Can anyone tell me whether my guess in the schematic below is correct?

hello Prospekteur, do you think we can do this vdi togehter, maybe in a new thread? i started to design a pcb that fits direct behind the lcd Display
but i think i Need some help with pcb design later, help from others is also welcome

I would like to make something new thats why, I have my TGSL which I love and now the IDX is on way to be completed.

Finally it works. This is my IDX PRO VDI project still in progress.

Hello, can somebody tell me please how to calibrate the VDI to the IDX? My Arduino is connected to the U3 Pin 1 and Pin 14 as shown on the PCB.

Somebody tried to use 2-Digit 7-Segment Display instead of 2x16 screen ?

[homefire]

Yep it sure does. I didn't know AMS1117 was a Regulator. Well that saves 10 Cents ! LOL

Actually you dont even need redulator. Arduino Nano has 5V regulator on the bottom side (in link you posted). Just wire 12V to pin VIN and turn it on...
