It's not ground noise is it?!
Hi Guys,
Have not visited the site for some time and probably a little late on a few posts but Wow, bit of noise been generated too.
Below comments are not aimed at anyone and Carl, I hope you don't mind me posting this...
Must say I cringed when reading some posts...man and I thought this forum was for people who enjoyed metal detecting!
It is one thing to be right and another to accept when you are wrong...gracefully.
Please don't destroy a good forum by side plays and egos.
There are a great many contributors with sound knowledge and experience in metal detectors and electronics and others still wanting to learn. We are not here to beat chests...are we?
Facts can't be changed (can they?) but the way they are presented can be.
Cyberspace is a faceless arena where people can easily step over the mark and not realize they have done so until the enter key has been pressed. Or worse still, think they are untouchable and continue to despatch gibberish that is not at all related to the subject at hand.
Perhaps thinking before tapping the enter key is in order?
Of course, this won't stop the stirrers but if there is nothing for them to feed on, they will go away, whoever they are
Anyway, keep up the ideas and exchanges people, it's all good stuff!
Oh, an update for those interested.
My TI DSP based detector while working reasonably well, draws way too much current to be hand held and I have switched back to a Pic DSp based design which draws around 300mA ....much better than 900ma of the Ti based unit!
Electronovice, I think you were the guy who was interested in using the PicDsp? Sorry did not look up the posts, going off the old grey matter here. Well worth the effort just in case you are interested as they have improved the ADC performance up to 1 MSPS.
Cheers
