New FREE Beta Deco Software for Linux/Mac/Windows - Need Testers

brockbr

PLEASE READ THE POST FIRST BEFORE GOING TO SITE


<< Moderators - This is NOT for sale, and is FREE - I wrote it for the general diving community - I am NOT a vendor and am NOT trying to sell ANYTHING >>

I am looking for people who genuinely want to help bang-on and test a piece of software I'm writing.

The software features are:
0) - The best feature is that its instant - If you change something, it shows the result right then. You can play what-if's to see the impact of time, depth and gas choices.

1) Runs on Mac, Linux & Windows
2) Doesn't need to be "Installed" - Adobe FlashPlayer required though.
3) Doesn't require an Internet connection - Can be run locally.
4) Its being written specifically to port to the ***iPhone***

5) Full decompression diving support. Currently supports the Buhlmann 16 compartment algorithm with Erik Baker's gradient factors. Has been specifically designed to allow plug-in decompression algorithms such as VPM/B.

6) Supports any gas mix of O2 & He. Can theoretically support any other gas (such as Neon) as well, but not fully exposed.

7) Full Open Circuit Planning
* Any mix of gases
* Allows any number of waypoints (depth/Time/Gas)
* Allows any number of decompression gases and mixes
* Computes gas usage overall and for each gas independently.
* Gives full timeline of gases, loading, CNS and OTU's
* Displays in waypoint time and runtime

8) Full CCR Planning with AUTOMATIC bailout planning!
* Allows any number of CCR waypoints (Depth/Time/Gas)
* Allows any number of BAILOUT gases, including mixes
* Supports a max bailout pO2 - The automatic bailout planning uses this to switch gases.
* Bailout is based on actual tissue loading at the worst possible time in the profile on CCR. This means that it specifically takes the loading of the CCR and swaps over to open circuit, and provides the actual calculations from there.
* Bailout decompression stops, gas usage, and changes are automatic

9) Full charting of the dive profiles
* Supports a complete chart showing the entire dive, along with an overlaid bailout plan if diving CCR.
* Chart supports tips over each dive point to show runtime, waypoint, CNS, OTUs etc.

10) User Interface for COPYING the data
* Specifically designed to allow you to copy the data generated such as deco stops, gas usage and entire profile details can be copy/pasted

11) Imperial/Metric
NEW Metric Options Available! Runs in Imperial AND Metric - NOT Complete yet

***READ THIS IF NOTHING ELSE***
I designed the "waypoint" entry so that people could quickly enter **and** change a dive leg. For example, if I wanted to plan a dive to 130 feet for 30 minutes, I could enter that as:
130/30

If I wanted to do the same dive on TriMix with 21/20, I would enter it:
130/30-21/20

If I was doing that dive on CCR with a set point of 1.0, I would enter:
130/30-21/20-1.0


Anyone who would like to help test, please POST HERE so I can get a feel for how many people I can get. I will put everyone on a mailing list, and as features are released, the group will be notified, and testing can be done.

The only thing I ask in return is calm, well-thought-out feedback. You can click my name in the app itself to email me.

Thanks!

Hi,

Happy to help out.. looks pretty!

looks good, if you let me at it, be ready for lots of little ideas and stress testing

I would also be interested in testing your software. From the screen shot, it looks slick. Thanks, Al

BTW Guys - You don't have to wait for me, you can already get to it: MYDECOPLAN.COM

First item of feedback

On the opening screen and without entering any dive info the SAC Rate slider does not seem to change the numerical SAC value in the box to the left of the slider.

Nice. I like the user interface.
Thanks for posting that.

My first impression, confused with the over laid graphs of the desired plan and bail out plan. Thinking it would be nice to see what I wanted to see. Not a over lap of information.

I really enjoy beating up you work. I will be nice. I have been wanting something that will work well with my G4 MAC.

I see the bit about the iPhone, what about running on a iPod touch?

Cheers!!

Kevin

finally more stuff for mac!!!!!
