TGSL - EDU , new boards and kits

[silverdog]

New TGSL-EDU boards and kits are available in my shop www.silverdog.co.uk

These are lovely looking boards, black with GOLDEN solder pads

As the previous TGSL thread is now 180 pages long I think this new thread is needed to keep posts relevant to this EDU version in one place
If someone has a schmeatic, or useful info for this verison please post here.

regards

Silverdog

working diy coil

hello,

who has a working selfmade coil and can post his coil datas
size,wire material, coil connector plug, type (concentric, double D or other?) etc.

thanks

yes thanks, i have seen it already but maybe there some other possibilities like in the md4u.ru forum for the silver sabre it is a concentric coil not a double d but i have seen some people they build the concentric and say it doesn´t work but it was here in german forum some years ago

The coil diameters shown in the image are the same as the standard Tesoro (brown) polo coil.

Is this GS version a multi tone detector or single tone?

Hi Silverdog,
How about making your standard resistor lead spacing another tenth inch longer?
(check photo this thread)
I think you need to commit to whether the resistors stand up on end or lay flat.
As it is now, they just look....~wrong :-) If new builders are thinking they should lay flat they may be damaging their resistors trying to make them so.

I don't design the boards, just get them manufactured and offer them to the forum

The spacing is actually correct and I have just placed a few flat onto the board, no problem

I guess the photo is a result of the resistors moving when soldering, at the end of the day they work as well as flat ones

[bklein]

There is a difference between different brands of resistors. All are 1/4W but some must have some form of metal hardening on the leads at the resistor body that makes them less pliable and they don't bend a sharp 90 degree bend close enough to the body to fit your hole spacing. I too just went to my parts bin - first part I tried was fine, next one was not. Body dimension visibly the same. I'm just sayin.....

Hello,

i think there is no problem with the resistors. whether you solder them flat on board, in ancle of 45 degree or vertical. it is just a question of space. In the end the values of the resistors are the same. The boards are sexy!
