So where is the PARTS LIST for this Board ?
- It does NOT match the Schematics ...
For example, What is R46 ???

I had your problem. I took a photo of the board and printed it out. Wrote each component down the crossed it of the photo to make my own list. Unfortunately I did not keep a copy and the board has changed slightly again.

golfnut did an upto date schematic awhile back can't search very well at the moment as on a mobile

R46 is 2,2k
Carefully read all 117 pages. You will find circuits and circuit boards. Do not expect someone to give you everything for granted.

Unfortunately versions with all documentation have now been kept together.
I am just about ready to wire up the controls and found that picture but haven't
checked it against my board.

I have this BOM listed as pertaining to the silverdog board (though there may have
been 2 different ones);

Ok, question,

I just pulled out my second IDX PRO Kit from Silverdog (I had bought 2 kits last summer).
I found another new CAN OSCILLATING BUZZER - not a Clicking Piezo.
Is this what was INCLUDED in the kits ???

These do NOT make sense to USE - yes ?
They SELF Oscillate on their Own with only a HIGH DC Voltage ...

This is already driven by Oscillation fron the Circuitry.
I should be using a simple PIEZO or Speaker - YES ??

Well, I completed the second IDX PRO Board.

But, still no BEEP or Buzz yet - Nothing.
Everything connected, Coils and all.

Shouldn't I get some BUZZ if I adjust the Pots right ?

It seems that all components look installed correctly, including Pots, Switches and Coils.

Are there any Bugs or Needed Mods for the Silverdog Board ?

there has only been one bug that was over a year ago http://www.geotech1.com/forums/showt...046#post172046 and was quickly sorted

Is there an image with a finished Board ?
- The above image has a portion pasted over.
It would be helpful to compare components to.

Thanks !

I think my 2 Boards act like dead bricks.

I will post Photos of the 2 Silverdog IDX PRO Boards at lunch.

Maybe somebody can spot the problem.

jlsilicon you think maybe you have the ones with the short that you need to cut look there first then battery

[jlsilicon]

* I have already scanned over for shorts between components.
* I will check for Board Short at lunch.
* Battery is (2) 9V Bats in series which should be fine with the 7808 VReg - which is not hot.

I believe he means the PCB that was made wrongly, with a short on the PCB that needs cutting. I remember reading about it some time ago....
It is documented here somewhere....maybe someone better informed than I can help better....

Other friend who dropped into my project:


I don't see the Short - looks clean.

Can anybody give me a list of Voltage PIN Checks and Oscilloscope Tests - that I can do after work in 2 hours from now ?
I have limited time - so a list of things to do would be very helpful
- so I can list some info here ...

Thanks !
