The Meg work isn't really holding me up. There are just a lot of steps to get a new product out. The boards are done.

I am ready so let me know when the test unit is done...

Automatic setpoint switching seems to be a popular feature....

If you are planning to include that in the SW-KISS, please make that an optional switch in the menu and not an "always-on" feature.

LOL. I thought of saying that, even though Joe wasn't in the room.

But I figured Bruce is so much more experienced than I he knows what he's doing.

You're definitely on the list.

It will be implemented with a variable switch-up depth and switch-down depth, and enable/disable. I agree that it could be really annoying if you couldn't turn it off.

Is there a VPM option on the Shearwater for the Meg?

I know thats an option that is currently being worked on by Bruce - hopefully for the next update!

I remember reading somewhere a ways back that the HH was an option on the Meg. Also, Phi, didn't your HH work on your classic KISS for 6 or so dives before the solenoid died? I have 5 dives on my HH/classic KISS and all is well so far. The set point is maintained very well IMO.

You're correct, the Hammerhead Manual (V3.0) said in its introduction

Quote:

The electronics will be offered as a factory installed option on the Megladon Rebreather.

AFAIK that changed with the decision to use HH electronics in the DiveRite rebreather. I don't know if Juergensen Marine and DiveRite have an exlusivity agreement regarding OEM for the HH. But the sizable order should keep JM busy and make any HH scarce for quite a while.

Yes, mine died after the 6th dive but there were other issues before then.

How do you find the deco ? I couldn't get it to match to the GF of the tables under the same settings on all 6 dives. I finally got it to get the same relative total RT, but the profiles were wrong.

Everything was outlined on the KISS Owner list last year...

Not so, but that's not my business...

I have to say that I am using everything but the deco computer on the HH/KISS. I have a Cochran that I am using right now for that. I have studied all the available material from the KISS owners list on the HH, and I have even made a concentrate of all your reports and studied it carefully before I used mine. The KISS list info is not available of course to non Kiss owners. Anyway, I can get more than a days diving out of duracell ultra batteries with my HH wrist units even when I let the solenoid make all the O2 additions (80+% of the battery is left after 3+ hrs of diving). Except for the deco algorithm, which I can't comment on, the HH is working great so far.
