The LD01 was revised and significantly enhanced resulting in the LD02 display.
The rest of this page describes the original LD01. Note: The LD01 was last sold in January 2005.
For the kit version go to the LD01 kit construction guide page.
The Tech Edge LD01 is a 3 digit display calibrated to show AFR (or Lambda).
It can be used with a number of wideband units including the
WBo2 (version 2.0), the
TE-WB (version 1.5), or the original
Oz DIY-WB (version 1.0).
It is based on the very popular TE-5301 unit
and superscedes it.
We designed LD01 to be very simple to build, high performance, and expandable.

The LD01 features :
The LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) sensor used for auto night dimming is shown on the left side of the face. The arrow on the right side of the face indicates the stoic region on the bar graph. |

This image shows the LD01 with RJ45 cable attached. It is possible to replace the RJ45 connector with a DB9 - for use with a version 1.5 or 1.0 WB unit. |

This image shows the 5301 with alternative DB9 cable attached. It is also possible to add an RS232 cable for limited data logging (used for version 1.0 compatibility) |
The LD01 converts the voltage read from a wideband unit into a displayed AFR. The conversion curve is described here and covers the voltage range of 1.4 volts at the rich end, to 2.5 Volts as stoich, and to over 3 volts into the lean range.
It is possible for Tech Edge to supply custom versions of the LD01 that use a different curve for different equipment.
Refer to the LD01 kit construction guide page.
