The LD01 is currently being revised and updated and is unavailable in its current form. Please see the LD02 page for a similar display.

The rest of this page describes the original LD01

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 :

Small size 84 wide x 54 high x 32 mm deep, see image
3 digit Superbright GaAlAs LED readout plus 8 segment bargraph
Display auto-dims at night
Calibrated for use with the DIY-WB
8.00 to 45.0 AFR range for unleaded
Optional RS232 output (~15 samples/sec at 19,200 baud)

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. (note that the image is actually of the TE5300 face, but the LD01 is otherwise identical)

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)

Technical Information

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.
