IGSL Parts Lists - Both.

hi all

if anyone has made a correct partlist for the two versions can he post it? an actual placing plan is good too my problem is that i look on pcb and see on a place for example r5 or u4, now i have to look on shematic and search them - takes 20 seconds would be very friendly and could save me some time this weekend, please read some postings before but there a made some changes and this partlist some side before was wrong as some found out
thx

Hi
I have a good partlist for the TGSL Coils version that I believe Ivconic made and Silverdog used, I used it when I built a SilverDog kit and it worked out fine. I will attach it.

The Musketeer version I have not used though......get it from someone who has used it.

Many PCBs only have the component designation and shape because it takes up too much room to have all the info's printed on the PCB.

I use the part list and a printed out PCB layout, but with the copper lands left out so that I can see the shapes of the components better and the R10, D19, U3 etc.. I print it out in a far larger size than the board, to make searching easier....But I still must look up the value on the part list, but it's no big deal.

To do this, you need the Layout Viewer program from Abacom, go here, select your language and download the Free viewer:-

http://www.abacom-online.de/uk/html/produkte.html

Click on the SprintLayout picture and go down till you get the download of the viewer.

Download and install it.

Then download the two PCBs (Both versions final.zip)that I have attached,, unzip the *.lay for each PCB.. Make sure that you really know which is which!!!

Learn to use the SprintLayout viewer and how to select and print only the layers you want to see/print, it's so simple that I will not try and explain it.....Print as large as your printer can....

If you have any further requests, post here, many can help.

Regards

Andy

PS. Are you actually building BOTH versions at the same time?

Here are the partslist I made

many thanks

this saves one hour of my lifetime

Just what I was looking for myself after looking at the board the other day. So i decided to start adding resistors on the TGSL-EDU boards. Wife is going away for up to 10 days in anither weeks so i have plenty of free time to concentrate on the IGSL tesoro and musketeer versions. As long as all my parts arrive.

You must be doing something wrong.
I've just tried it, and it downloads just fine.

What can I be doing wrong I click on the link just above here on selims link then get a page with the download on it, go further down the page and click on the low download speed due to the fact im not a member there and it just says only allowed one file.
Have I got to join?
I disconnect firewall so it cant be that.
Where am i going wrong?

I just tryed again and it says 19mins download so maybe happydays, must have been a glitch.
Thanks

Some of those sites allow you one download for free, once only......
Maybe someone can post it here without such problem (if it is small enough of course!).

Hi andy its 5.28mb
it says i have 4 mins to download it, if i get it i will post it on here ok

[satdaveuk]

Hi andy its 5.28mb
it says i have 4 mins to download it, if i get it i will post it on here ok

I waited all that time and it says the same thing a X then nothing.
Anyone whos sucessfully downloaded this rar file can they please just put it on here its only 5.2mb so should be easy.
Many thanks in advance

To any Sprint Layout users:

How do you label parts on the PCB? Are they each hand labeled, or does each part have properties so that you can you label the parts with either the Part Value or the Part Id with one global setting choice?

Update on "Nulling" on my IGSL (SilverDog kit) with DIY TGSL Coils

Minor update on my IGSL build, I am able to "null" my coils to a Rx coil pick of 0.4 mVolts (measured across the coil), YES 0.4mVolts measured on my scope.......Checked about 4 times to make sure that I was not misreading the scope display.....

The coils are just sitting in my Plywood search head, not even glued in, they need only a tiny movement to get down so low (the plywood head was made using Don's excellent TGSL 101 pdf, as were the coils)......

Also, that was measured in my Kitchen, with plenty of "Electrical interference" around, which is strongly believed to "interfere with sensitivity".......not exactly the best place I feel to make such a test.....

That's a lot less that the 4mVolts (factor x10) that Don talks about in TGSL 101......naturally gluing may eventually send it off, but has anyone else ever achieved such a low value? Is it normal? (thanks to anyone who replies with details).

I am NOT trying to say that its because of the way that I run my Faraday Shield wiring, or the cable type that I use, though, I am just happy that its that sensitive and I feel that that bodes well for the future.

Though it is one of the points that I sincerely believe that accurate/correct grounding of the shields helps. But absolutely no proof whatsoever as to if that is true or not, but it's good building practice.....

I am waiting to see what levels other people are achieving under the same circumstances, maybe mine is just quite normal......or even higher than really good machines.

Silverdog & Ivconic, what do you get as a null voltage measured on the Rx coil.....???

Sadly, I put my CD4024 chip in backwards(), blew it up, so I cannot progress further till that is replaced....next week!!

I need to make the head better looking before I glue the coils in anyway, so its not a problem really, plenty to do......just aggravating.....

Regards

Andy

There is moment when i reach "null" readings (0.00mV) at my millivoltmeter. I do have scope, but also prefer rather to use millivoltmeter for coils balancing, kind a habit.
So, there is a moment... but pretty soon voltage changes and usually stays in range 4-15mV.
I don't rely only on such readings, more i rely on air tests with hotrock, ferrite rod, various coins, ceramic etc..etc..
Before applying filler i perform such tests and correct a bit coil position, if needed. And it usually end up in range 4-15mV.
Funny, because original TS1000 coil is giving me 0.00mV when measured?!
Yet my 4-15mV coil is working same good as TS1000!?
In the past i insisted to fix null exactly to 0.00mV, but later such coils didn't performed so good!?
I think i know the reason of such difference between home made and original.
I always shield my coils with Al foil, while original TS1000 is shielded with graphite powder mixed with filler.
Al foil "mass" presence in coils vicinity is causing that 4-15mV jitter and seems it is quite normal for such setup.
