Shearwater HUD is shipping

bgpartri · 31st August 2006, 04:45

The first orders of the Shearwater HUD were delivered to customers this week. We will be shipping a few more each week for the next couple of weeks, then 100 will be available September 15.

Since the Megalodon conversion was just waiting for the HUD case to be done, it is now shipping too. The first delivery will be by the end of next week.

Hey bruce.

How will you piggy back the hud on the shearwater so that both can read all three sensors?

***Beanie*** · 31st August 2006, 11:47

Hi Bruce,

Does it need its own cells?
Or will it run off the cell in there alongside the othe PPO2 monitors.

And can it be used on the inspiration at all?

See- http://www.rebreather.ca/Product_Ima...sk_hud_new.jpg

I'm pretty sure Bruce is piggy-backing the Shearwater and HUD so both read all three cells, I'd imagine you could bugger around and get it to fit an Inspiration but I'm sure Bruce will explain shortly....

I'm certainly interested if this can be piggy-backed into the Inspo loom without affecting the performance of the internal monitoring and control. The other HUD I've looked at that gives independant primary readings for all 3 cells is about twice the price of this offerring - combine this HUD with Beanies cell holder to get the wiring out without drilling the head, and knowing that it will be (electrically) isolated from the primary monitoring loop we're onto a winner.

The wire comes into one of the three ports on the kidney or triple connectors. The Shearwater GF goes into one, and the HUD into another.

There is a description of how to connect the sensors on the website on the FAQ page. It is the same method used to connect Jetsam displays.

It shares the existing cells. There are some pictures on the FAQ page of my web site.

The only issue with the Inspiration is how to get the wire through the lid. I need to have a closer look at your new product. The Inspiration head is too thin to accept the types of connectors I usually use.

We're also looking at a replacement head for the Inspiration. It's just a matter of working out the mechanical side. The electronics has been done for a while.

Beanie,

I agree. It looks like it would just plug in. Your price seems reasonable, so I think we have a winner here.

Anyone want to be a beta tester?

It looks like we could also do a three sensors integrated deco computer too without developing anything but a cable. That will also need to be tested. Hmmm. I need to find a local Inspiration diver.
