Thanks,means a lot from you
I guess I’m trying to figure out if it’s worth getting the next rev PCB done. It has r0 resistor instead of the jumper wire …
Might also get some clear heat shrink to hold the antenna in place

I liked your design from the first time I saw it, and now, just a little bit more so since you are offering it out to the community.
I would get one, But I already have the DT LF antenna for my RDV4.
But, I would encourage any PM3 Easy owners that have ever struggle to read / write to their LF implants to strike whist the iron is hot.
@XEMON
You might want to consider making a poll to guage interest?
if you “show who voted”, you could sort of use that as an order obligation
If you need a hand building the Poll, just shoot me a DM
Just thought I would jump in to let you know your hard work and sharing is appreciated
heres a
for you
Thats what started the whole this whole project
That’s a great idea, looks like I figured out how to make it, but didn’t found the show who voted option.
Thanks
It may also be worthwhile to order some coils pre-wound from a company like this. You can reach out with specs for your antenna and since it’s large they’ll let you get a lower order quantity at a higher per-unit cost. In the end though it will be more economical for you, if you can get interest from 20-30 people. Might be worth reaching out on the Iceman discord to see if there’s any interest there.

If you want any help with antenna characterizing or PCB design to make it spiffy feel free to reach out.
You cant change the poll after 5 mins of publishing, so itf you want to change it, you’ll need to delete and start again, I just checked and there is only 1 vote at the moment.
You could copy the poll “script” and change the the bit where it says “show who voted” from “no” to “yes”
Then paste the new poll and delete the old
Ok, thanks everyone for the help and feedback.
I got the who voted figured out so you may have to vote again
As for the Iceman discord, that sounds like a great idea, but I don’t have discord … I’m probably one of the last prick without face de book and alike …
I have more respect for you for that, I don’t think you are a prick at all.
I despise social media, so I’m with you on your stance.
Sometimes, you have to go where the information is:-
YouTube for example, It fucken sucks, BUT there is some great info on that shit platform.
I use Discord for Flipper Zero and IceMan RFID and some crypto Servers.
And obviously here on Discourse for the DT forum.
Major update, got the PCB!
Put one together, I haven’t done SMC soldering in a bit and it shows
And put the antenna I had on my prototype, wrapped it in heat shrink.
And it works
Ok, I have a bit of time to put into this again
I’ve used the antenna quite a bit and it pairs perfectly every time
Im waiting on my re-flow plate to come in, this should speed the process up a bit for the soldering and I’ll start on the coil. The DIY kit will also be available.
Once I have a first batch together and I crunch the numbers I’ll have a price point for them, and I’ll make a dedicated threads with all the details.
Ok, I got 10 boards ready, I want to ket a few for drop in, the rest is gonna be diy kit right now.
I’ll make the count tomorrow and make a thread for them
Got the antenna testing board setup, and have 6 cores on hand
I’ve got a project for Sparrow that I’d like to finish and send them this weekend, hopefully I’ll have some time to get some antennas done
Soon™ in action
I’m slowly gonna pick this project back us as I have more machines to make things more manageable …
What would assembly of the cores likely end up entailing? So folks can figure out if it’s in their skillset?
You make a good point
Assembling the core takes a few steps.
Repeat 5 and 6 until it’s where we want it
When I find the time, I’ll make a few antennas, I’ll make a small writeup about how to do it.
Got 6 antenna going, and working on the “DIY kit”.
The kit will include everything you need:
We got a new category for this now!
Awesome thanks
When they’re ready I’ll post there.
SOON™ never been so close!
I just finish testing the first batch of 6 and they all work! I will make a post in the sales section for them shortly™
