WTB Ir Dongle for Uwatec Smart Tec

[Andrew Dawson]

Hi All,

I am looking to buy an Ir dongle to interface with SmartTrak [V2.09, the latest] and my Uwatec Smart Tec computer.

Anyone got an old one laying around they know works, please, that they no longer want?

Please, advise....and thanks for looking

I got mine cheaper than that but I am not finding many on amazon right now.

I've been keeping an informal list of 3rd party USB IrDA dongles for our customers - ie: ones that are compatible with the official UWatec/ScubaPro one - and they have all but disappeared in the last year or so. An occasional one on Ebay but that's it - all the others are "not available" or "not in stock".

If you *really* want one, I'd spring for the expensive ScubaPro one as it's pretty much the only one available these days. Also available on Amazon.

I did buy this one...but, of course, Windows is still having trouble getting the driver to work

Any tips on making this one work, please?

No, I do not *really* need this device...would be fun it for $20 I could get it to work...but, that is about my limit on making this task work

The IrDa dongle above, from Amazon....did not work. I have returned it.

If anyone has an extra or no longer needed Scubapro IrDa dongle...let me know, please

Yeah I do...
I thought my el cheapo $20 dongle had stopped working so bought the expensive uwatec dongle. Turns out is was a DivelogDT update that did not play nice with my old Mac OS. DivelogDT fixed the issue and both dongles worked. But then my scubapro g2 is died shortly after. I have the dongle and the CD rom ( assume this is drivers for windows, I never opened it ). Do you need the USB cable also? It is a male/female since the dongle is male.
