Voodoo Main Discussion

I can't manage.
Amazon.de gives me only price. Not shipment.
I am so illiterate now!!!

In fact there are more Amazon sites than I listed earlier:

Australia	English	amazon.com.au
Austria	German, English	amazon.at
Brazil	Portuguese	amazon.com.br
Canada	English, French	amazon.ca
China	Standard Chinese	amazon.cn
Czech Republic	Czech	amazon.cz
Europe	English	amazon.eu
Egypt	English, Arabic	egypt.souq.com
France	French	amazon.fr
Germany	German, English	amazon.de
Global	English, Spanish	amazon.com/global
India	English	amazon.in
Italy	Italian	amazon.it
Japan	Japanese, English, Chinese	amazon.co.jp
Kuwait	English, Arabic	uae.souq.com/kw-en/
Mexico	Spanish	amazon.com.mx
Netherlands	Dutch	amazon.nl
Poland	Polish	amazon.pl (amazon.de)
Saudi Arabia	English, Arabic	saudi.souq.com
Singapore	English	Amazon.com.sg (prime only)
Spain	Spanish	amazon.es
Turkey	Turkish	amazon.de/tr
UAE	English, Arabic	uae.souq.com
United Kingdom	English	amazon.co.uk
United States	English, Spanish	amazon.com

Souq, in case you’re wondering, is a subsidiary of Amazon often called ‘the Amazon of the Middle East’. Amazon Global is really a part of the US Amazon, but with the emphasis on shipping abroad.

I also tried now Italy and France, same as Germany; "auf lager".
Not giving me shipment costs nor i am sure if they would send it to Serbia anyway.
This is very ugly world that we are living in.
I am very interested to see what you "cooked" there George... but unfortunately there is no way me to get it easy here.
I'll have to wait others to do it and post videos.
...
BTW from all this shipment confusion i totally forgot to CONGRATULATE You on new book!
I am very glad to see that you did something!
Sneaky you.. you one sneaky... you!! So silent lately!
Not even a word on forum about this to announce it!


CONGRATULATIONS!

I've been working on this project for a very long time, which is the reason why I wrote it as a book rather than simply giving it away on the forum as I've done with other projects.
It has cost me a lot of time and money over the years.

My copy is on the way from Amazon. Looking forward to an interesting read.

Hi Qiaozhi,,,Congratulations on your publication of a new book! It'll be great if you could publish the Gerber files to this new detector as you mentioned earlier,,I have ordered my copy of your new book and look forward to its arrival. Looking forward to this new interesting PI Project. Thanks and best regards regards, Marty.

Thanks guys.

10 years back i probably would not understand this, but now, having certain (painful) experiences on my own; i am fully understanding you here.
$15.33 or ~13 euros is indeed smallest possible price for such kind of works. RESPECT!
But there is a worm in my head not allowing me to be calm... i simply have to ask: haven't you had thoughts on making it commercial product?
Indeed good discriminating PI is sort of holly grail ... or even a voodoo if you like. Valuable piece of work, no doubts about that.

As you personally know, it is not easy to turn an idea into a commercial reality. I've already been there and done it with several green energy projects, and trust me it's hard. Even if you're an established business, or have lots of money behind you, it can still be a difficult journey. I just didn't want to go there with Voodoo.

I hear you.
For decency sake i will not ask too many questions.
Hopefully i'll find a way to get a book.
I just checked and Amazon Austria looks most promising.
It is close, in the neighborhood.

Yes, a hex file will be available.

[6666]

Yes, a hex file will be available.

Thanks that will be very handy, book cost $33.00 here in Australia, delivery middle to late December if I am lucky, had a bit of a look at whats inside seems to be based on Fisher coils, will be interested in what you have invented.

[MartyJ1963]

I just had a read of the 'Sample' pages and can't wait to read the whole book now,,Thanks George, Marty.

[mschmahl]

Congratulation on the book. I have ordered it at amazon.de. There are 2,75? shipping cost to germany, don?t know for other countries. But I have get automatically a discount.

[MartyJ1963]

I'll be definitely ordering at least a couple of pcb's if Silverdog decides to sell them in his shop,,Can't wait for the book to arrive to see what it all entails, Regards, Marty.

[Qiaozhi]

Gerber files added to post #1.

[MartyJ1963]

Thanks for adding the Gerber files, Regards, Marty.

[MartyJ1963]

Hi Qiaozhi, Hopefully Andy (Silverdog) will get enough interest to have some boards made,,,It's quite a large pcb but I'll definitely be building this Voodoo project,,I love the way you layed out the pcb. Can't wait for the book to arrive now so I have a Parts list available to start getting the components together. Thrilled to bits with this new project and can't wait to start building!,,Thanks again George for your kindness in presenting another great project to Geotech. Regards, Marty.
