Regards, Ian.

The two projects I have boards designed for are BW's original switched-cap design (I have the motherboard and coil boards fully routed, haven't started the cap board), and the SMD version of the QED (laid out and partially routed). That's as far as I've got. I actually had a list of questions I wanted to discuss with BW, but at the time the patent crap was hitting the fan, and I didn't wish to stir anything up.

i kinda agree, it would be a great shame if the QED project ended up as a Frankenproject. I was intending to send BW a couple of finished boards to see if he wanted to dive back in, but I suppose that was pretty half-arsed too.

It WOULD be a tremendous shame if the QED died from venom and strangulation - can you imagine how pissed off the manufacturer would be if it took off as a hobbyist detector? If not for BWs brains and tenacity, it wouldn't have got this far. He should be the one to bury it, I guess.

Anyway, there we are. Damnit, now I've got the switched-cap design bug again.

G'day mate!

I don't have access to that system until tomorrow (Fran has to get it out of the other room for me), but I'll definitely drop you a line sometime tomorrow!

Glad to hear you're over the worst - sounds like you had a miserable time... We can commiserate electronically.

cheers Ian!

with the crap he has had to deal with it is just not fair to work on this when he cant.

Bern, I agree with you... if QED is the killer so where QED now, what stage is on. my friends in Mexico and Iran wait deep goldish fishing.
I also can to connect russian guys to this project, if there is need.

Some new videos posted of older version QED are up on that youtube channel. Show it working and detecting on test site, alongside another well known commercial model. Would be nice if members viewed and posted comments of support on his youtube channel. Bear in mind that the three videos below show an older version. Bugwhiskers has made various improvements since then, one being better audio.

That detector is our own development, completely new design.

You should really quote post 411 by KT315, otherwise people will think you are talking about the QED.

I think Minelab own the QED now, not too sure what happened with it all.
The detector in the Utube vid is our toy.

[bugwhiskers]

Would you care to elaborate, what do you mean exactly by "our toy"?

[Davor]

Long time no see bugwhiskers, hope you are OK.
I so wish your troubles are over.

Toying around with the digital display unit, "Toy" is something to be played with, "our" means plurality.

I get the "toy" bit after watching the video. What's with the posting the video of this, as you say "toy" in this thread?

What are you doing making statements like "I think Minelab own the QED now" followed up by "not too sure what happened with it all"

How about you stick to posting facts !

What are the facts? "I think" is not a statement of fact but conveys uncertainty, "I am not sure what happened with it all" is a fact that I do not know what happened.

But I did hear 3rd or 4th hand (and this is only speculation) that the project ended up in the hands of a detector company... not fact but hearsay, What are the facts?

Surely you can enlighten us all.
