BARACUDA-Legend-1

[miguelsaen]

hello
I bought the kit and I have a problem baracuda you connect and works well for a long beeping minutoluego remains as if you were ever detected
if someone can help out I would appreciate

hello
I have changed the coil by one of 22 laps with a diameter of 0.40mm and 21 and according to light it is constantly beeping turn it off and back on and always follow beeping
if you have any idea why this happens tell me something thanks

Did you install the pinpoint option? Some of us had this issue. If so, remove Q5.

Hi Miguel. Perhaps thershold level is too high. Becomes the threshold potentiometer until only a faint sound is heard in the background.

I hope it helps.

Hi Miguel.


Tal vez el nivel de thershold está muy alto. Vuelve el potenciometro de threshold hasta que sólo se escuche un débil sonido de fondo.

Espero que sea de ayuda.

Saludos,

hello dfbowers
thank you very much for answering
I removed Q5 and dicer and works perfectly
Hi Fabian
thank you very much for answering
when turning the potentiometer from 0 to the maximum and backwards
kept ringing

Hi All,

Complete newbie here.

Have been lurking on the forum for a while now watching everyones progress with this build.

I just ordered the kit from Silverdog the other day and cant wait to get stuck into this project.

Regards,

Please explain in detail how you are able to discriminate with the Barracuda?

I think he's asking a question, but he forgot to put the question mark. (?)

Answer: No.

good, I would like to know where I can buy a waterproof case like the photo, or buy cheap Spain, and certainly very good job with the barracuda was doing I decided to get in the water

[david135]

Alexis, nice home work... thanks. I only would like to reminder a point Chris did begin to learn the device from.

good, I saw the magnificent Mobile Populations has performed with the barracuda, and do not know if I misread sells the full kit, I would like to buy a kit, shipping to Spain, and if the box can be sealed or where you can get a waterproof case like that, because I was doing on my own a home to put my garret 250, and thus be able to get into the water at the beach, thanks for everything and expect an answer, greetings.

Barracuda project..

Well, I finished up the Barracuda project today and took it for a walk. It works fantastic!

I did have several problems that I needed to overcome though.

1. Point circuit prevents setting threshold correctly (omitting Q5 solves this problem)

2. The Barracuda is too sensitive to coil movement (through earths magnetic field).
I attempted to replace Q3, Q4 and 1k Ohm resistors with matched sets and the problem got worse!! More sensitive!! The only solution I could find was to reduce the value of R25 (1M Ohm resistor around U2) to reduce the gain a little. This solved my problem completely. Performance is now about the same as the Surf PI project. Oh well, such trade-offs Anyone else run into this one?

hello don

"Performance is now about the same as the Surf PI project"

the most and also me get little better results as surf pi i think you could get 2-3cm more than surf pi with very little threshold sound and coil from insulated litz wire
i couldn´t reach the same with such coil at surf pi
try- i think you will not regret it
