    Whites Pulse Scan TDI 2009 Battery Volts?
    by Silver Dollar
    I got a hold of a broken TDI and it did not come with a battery. When I run it from a powersupply at 12V only the red light comes on. I need 15V to get all 3 Led's on.
    The wavy threshold is more stable at 15V also. I was going to use 3 3.7V lithium batteries to power it as I thought 16V was max....

    Hey guys
    Today I'm going to introduce a very powerful metal detectors.
    This metal detector is very simple and powerful .
    And I think it is the best system that has ever been given for free to the public.
    It is appropriate here to thank the designer (Mr. Hamid from iran)....

    Replacing a mono coil with a DD coil: How should the RX and TX coils be dimensioned?
    by GeoMax
    Question for the community:

    I want to modify a PI detector circuit designed for mono coils (RX/TX) to work with DD coils (RX & TX). The DD coil still needs to be fabricated, and the original mono coil for the PI circuit has an inductance of approximately L=1 mH. How should the RX and...
