My vyper Air ismy backup to my Cobalt. Each has their advantages. The Cobalt is very easy toread and very intuitive to use. The weakness is the log software but that canbe worked around using Mac Dive of Diving Log 5.0 for minimal extra cost. I amnot a big fan of the new web based Suunto...
This has been the position for a long time. Much of this position makes sense, however; the actual dive logging software is only aportion of the issue.
What needs to also be considered is the ability to update and maintain the firmware. This has been problematic from day 1. Initially there...
I imagine you are frustrated. However it is our money that was invested in a dive computer that is a struggle to maintain. I am not a happy camper!
You are entirely correct that the, at least in my experience, the divelog 5.0 software is very good. It works with the Cobalt well. That said; the...
I agree 1000% I am getting sooooo fed up with the software/firmware issues that I am on the last effort this time. I already have expressed my fears/concerns/dissatisfaction to many of the local divers as well as my local shop owner. I recently spent a week with him in Cozmel and the subject...
Ron I just got the e-mail about the leap year problem. I updated my Cobalt logbook to 1.57 and tried to update the firmware all I get is 1.13!! What can I do to get the 1.17 update? It appears to be available but Logbook won't download it when I ask it to down load the latest firmware. My DC is...
Ron this was posted on 15, October. Should be available next week is what you said. Today is what 5, December; and the download section says that the updater is still unavailable. I have a trip in January any chance I'll be able to get a firmware update?
Ron,
I did uninstall the drivers. I didn't want to do too much cleaning so as not to lose my past notes and log files. I have now transferred everything to Diving Log 5 and will do a complete uninstall and cleanup what the normal uninstall leaves behind and try again. I have now fully moved to...

I haven't been around for a while it is good to see you are still here. My question is about the updated software. I downloaded the current update from the AtomicAquatics sight which is shown as version 1.4.4 dated 8-15-11. The file I downloaded was titled as Logbook5_14_2011.msi and the...
+1 for Diving Log on a PC and MacDive on a MAC.
Make sure your diving computer is supported since not all are in either case but they generally support a vast array of the most popular ones.
Another take perhaps? I agree with Vis'art thoughts completely. Another show that uses the 5DMkII is Monster Quest on History channel. I LOVE mine on land! However :-) with the motor drive it is big and heavy and very expensive. I though hard about taking that investment underwater. Yes you get...
Hey Ron when you add the WiFi can you add underwater GPS to agument the compass??
BTW i agree that simplier is better. I AM pretty geeky but I still forgot about the driver change needed to switch back for firmware updating from using Diving Log 5. Had to come back here to get straightend out...
Can anyone help with this??
I had no problem flashing the first update but the second one now will not update, I know where the unzipped file is and I am connected to the computer.
It goes directly from pushing the start button to connection closed. The cobalt does not even blink it is...
RonR,
How can I tell if a new firmware is available. Per your previous post I am assuming a 1.11 is soon to be comming. When I go to Atomics site it appears that I have to go through the whole registering process just to find out what the current firmware version is. That seems like the lot of...
Thank you also for the information. As you say the installer makes switching pretty painless. As for me I plan to just stay with Diving Log so I plan to just leave that driver installed. Goo to know that that is the current technology. :-)
As one of the more outspoken critics I'd like to again thank you RonR for the support you continually give. I and most if not everyone appreciate your time and thoughtfull replies. That said:
I was promised software on a par with the Suunto DM3.1 in February. I was told it would be available...
