    SPULE32 Coil modelling software by AZIZ
    by moodz
    Aziz and myself have collaborated to bring you SPULE32 which is Aziz's coil modelling software.
    He has kindly provided the original source code ( C, C++, ASM ) which originally was built for windows and I ( with AI help ) have ported to Javascript.
    So to be clear Aziz did all the work and...

    Need code help
    by Fadel saleh
    I have built a device equipped with an antenna. I used an Arduino, a control screen, and a single button. I also added external components: an LM386 amplifier IC, a BD139 transistor, and a 10k variable resistor, along with ceramic and disc capacitors. The setup relies on a ground connection (negative/earth)...

    PulseScan TDI battery connector?
    by Kevco
    I want to order some extra battery connectors that are used in the TDI, and connects to the Li-ion battery. Does anyone know the official part number, and manufacturer? Like Amphenol PC-1922993 (random junk as an example), or a Mouser P/N#?

    I've tried all of the plug-in-the-wall power...

    DSPECT ... A development tool for metal detectors ( and other stuff )
    by moodz
    I wanted a tool so I could look closely at the frontend of metal detector design. It turns out I had it on the bench right in front of me.

    1. An FPGA board
    2. A 24 bit ADC board.

    BONUS .... No Soldering at all.

    The hardware is about the same cost as a good...

    Although obsolete and forgoten this one continue to be "most wanted"
