Darlene,
Awesome Job…. have some green!
I like the H-valve running from the O2 tank and allowing you to shut down either valve.
Isolating that Solenoid is very… nice.

With the addition of the oxygen sensors for the electronics and the Explorer does it detract a lot from your counterlung volume?

Thank you for sharing- I am curious what’s next on your Hobby list?

Happy diving, Andrew

The Drager CLs seem pretty big, certainly way bigger than I need.

Before I changed the orifice in the kiss valve, it would bleed O2 into the cls faster than I could metabolise it and as a result, the cls slowly expanded untill they reached the limit imposed by where I had set the velcro flaps before the OPV would vent.

I's assume Drager sized the CLs anticipating the original oxygage, and John's 3cell holder is only a few more cc's of displacement, so it's not really noticable.

Darlene

Next on the hobby list: ... How about an over the shoulder exhale CL with T piece and water trap?

Hi Guys,

It's been a while since I posted an update on my Dolphin project, but it's been in testing now for a while and it's pretty well sorted out.

I'm working on an article describing it in more detail with lots of pics, but I thought I'd post some of the pics since I'm not too swift at writing articles and it may be a while yet.

And to think this all started out as a DIY HUD project.

Looks l;ike a nice winter project fopr me to build an equivalent for my Submatix.

Darlene

Darlene,
Great to see the pictures of it all kitted out and ready to go in the water.

I look forward to the article with the full details of construction and associated pictures. Dont forget the circuit diagrams and PIC code ;-)

Unfortunately, ... They seem to be outnumbered by those who think "anal retentive bitch" is a more fitting description, ... But WTF do those moronic inbreed buttwipes know!

Don't sweat the small stuff. Leave them to stew in their own small minds!!
I think you have done a brilliant job.

Talking of anal retentive... I just need a document from you like this one http://www.jknights.plus.com/JMK%20P...20battery1.pdf so I can copy what you have done on my Submatix. ;-)
