XD I see a person of culture :)

Haha, I have the same idea xD

That sounds like a task for...

Who's Mehdi?

And the conclusion was to buy the product.

JLCPCB: When deadbugging fails you

Oh wow, I am the first like and comment of this. Hey Mehdi, nice to see you.

+1 for the Darlington and explanation!!! Nothing blew up, what are you complaining about!!!!!

Hey Mehdi love from India

Hi there. Keep in mind that in his version of the circuit he´s jusing a JFET, which behaves different than a normal BJT Transistor. The way he´s "pulling gate to ground" is the right way to do it here. Over all his circuit isn´t to good. The Jfet should have higher resistance or a better said a higher resistor in the source line, and the coupling capacitor to the op amp should be bigger. Also, if I recall correct, I think I saw some kind of frequency selective part in the original circuit (like to attentuate other frequencies and peak the 1Khz Signal), that was done using a RC circuit. In the short demonstration that was shown, it also could be heared that his version of the circuit did pick up a lot of intefference, whereas the original circuit (the one he purchased) did receive his diy transmitter rather well. I guess he used the JFET (which behaves different than a standard transistor) to have a very high input resistance and due to that make the circuit very sensitive. So yes, for standard Transistors biasing "Base" towards plus does indeed work, but for a JFET you have to "bias" the gate ("Base") towards ground. If you put it towards +, it will make the Jfet less conductive (reduce amplification). The circuit (receiver) could be improoved using a high impendance LC tank circuit, with a coil with many mH (>10mH) and a parallel resonance capacitor so the circuit will have a resonant frequency of about 1KHz. That also would put away the humm noise you heared when he tested the bought circuit (It´s not necessarry obviously, and was left away due to cost reasons). Anyhow, just wanted to reply to you. I watch your videos too, you´re an amazing entertainer.

Laughts in newish house where the wireing was done when the principle contractor already started to not pay the sub contractors.

Smiles in 85 year old house where every single wire is surface mounted. Also water lines.

yeah, here are some in 45° to safe copper, "Stegleitungen" and other funny stuff that makes every drill a thrill.

@@Teknopottu ...makes drilling holes easy.

@@underwoodblog NYIF cables are the worst. Even worse if they use the old color scheme

Thankfully here in Finland old houses were often build using surface mounting on cables and water pipes. Makes them maybe not easy on eyes but very easy to fix and easy to avoid.

@@CoolKoon Yes, and it was in the GDR and not the FRG.

Haha not quite

Lool🤣

Yes good one

Yes

More like: "Mental" 😂

Yes, I vote for metal detector too incl. pulse vs VLF 👍

I'd like to see a DIY ground penetrating radar project!

Back to the Future :-)

@@greatscottlab Hey great scott a big fan of yours but as you are interested in leds you can make a rgb led SIERPINKSKI'S triangle you can google it the concept of fractals

@@greatscottlab Then your real name is Felix?? 🤔🤔

I know, right?!

"Stay creative...."

Yes. And then they sprayed it with a film of wax so that any dust that got in would stick and turn to grime when you worked on it. Those were the days, eh?

@@greatscottlab JLCB PCB are not very happy about this.

This is very similar to electroboom's circuit, but different use cases. Great Scott's allows you to trace a circuit without turning off all the other circuits. Only the circuit under inspection produces a tone. Electroboom's circuit tells you if mains voltage is present, so it is great for ensuring power is off before you work, but if you want to trace a wire through a wall, you have to turn off all circuits except the one you are tracing! Not always practical. Similar principles, but different use cases.

@@DonaldZiems yaa some things are different like it doesn't use light to show signal,instead...use an amplifier circuit and a speaker,and instead of using live wire's ac radiations,this circuit sends over a pwm signal and is a transmitter and a receiver by itself

It's a circuit for electrostatic detection or basically measuring a parasitic capacitance from my point of view

No it is not. It is known as a fox and hound.you have a transmitter on a DEAD cable and the reciever can detect the signal shiwing you where it is. It's very handy with LAN and phone cables. Where hundreds of cables can be in one box and you need to find one.

If you hold the tip of your toner in one hand, and the bare wires your testing in the other, you will hear the toner pick up the signal through your body. That’s how I used to use mine to confirm the cable.

@Navkaran Singh same doubt? He is probably the patron guy

OH BOY, HERE WE GOOOOOOOOOO

In Germany we have people, who "pfusch" (not follow those standards, therefore creating inconsistence)

You dont need to tell me that, but yeah "pfusch" is a thing

Every country has standards. And every country has pfuschers...

So glad I live in bavaria, we don't have " Pfusch ", we just have " Passd scho " 🍻

What are salt taxes?

@@jimjimx5418 sorry, I mispronounced the word, I wanted to say "salty" meaning that the taxes are very high

Awesome👍

does it works on concealed wires

Can you understand Czech?

My pleasure :-)

Silvered copper wire 0.8mm

@@greatscottlab Is there a reason you go with silvered copper wire? Would tinned copper wire be the same thing?
