This is a WiFi Model. We're raffling this certificate at the 10 Treasure Hunters Cookout!
I meant a wifi Detector where your coil and shaft were the only piece of detector hardware you would need. They have a built in wifi network that sends the information to an app on your phone. No lag like Bluetooth, you could theoretically use it underwater because the signal should still transmit well. It would be small enough to truly fit in a backpack.
Been discussed, but the app software would be a nightmare. Two major OS's to support, with both constantly changing. OTOH, it could obsolete detectors much quicker. In 5 years you would have to buy a new detector because the old one only worked with your Z-phone, and your Z-phone died.
And, no, wifi doesn't work under water, and still has lag.
Yeah, I can see it now........... Every time you try to pinpoint you're interrupted by some political scam wanting money or someone looking for Pedro....... How many of us go out to swing to get away from all the electronic fuzz we're subjected to?why would anyone want all that crap?
I don't know about wifi, but there is a bluetooth detector coil that is controlled from your phone. It's called the(deleted by mod for rule violation) I can't say if it's worth a crap or not, but someone did it.
one small satellite off a few degrees and your world crashes
Hound your new here and most likely do not know, we do not allow posting links of non supporting vendor sites.
Apologies, I didn't notice in the rules that it wasn't allowed at all, just that it wasn't allowed in vendor specific sections. I'm also not affiliated or advertising for them. I just saw it a couple of days ago as a detector coil that uses a phone as a controller and posted it as it's relevant to a technical topic. Which rule is that?
