Re: hello from fresno sven
it was a pretty simple design. can type scrubber from pvc, flat hose for the lungs, old metal reg sliced up for the adv, single stage electronics using the oopic pic to an lcd display three sensor, no housings for the electronics just potted them in casting resin. manual o2 and by way of toggle valves. al straped to an old bc. battery pods where pvc pipe glued closed and throw aways. the dsv was the hard part never did get one that i really liked and was not going to spend the money at that time on a divematics one. several of the electronics will be coming over to the new biopak 240.
changing for new unit
2 lcd displays with reed switches in casting epoxy no fancy cases,
controllers 2ea oopic s version b 31 i/o channels and 7 analog inputs per unit
new frog dsv when it comes out modified for oc bailout. anybody got a regulator suggestion
watt mizer solinoid also epoxy encapulated
depth sensor added to one controller
hud added to the other
had thought of grandure and including deco, figured that would be a good way to get bent
will be using a mag ring to trip the switches no fancy litle machining.
i have the factory aga mask for the biopak will need to make a blank to convert for the dsv
will add the wing from a prism i just ebayd does anyone know whos inflator fits it, mine is missing
plan on keep the stock harness right now but that may change
will be using nicads for this units batteries encapsulate then the charging will be done through the sensor feed wire extra conductor

lcds 50.00
pics 140.00
