DIY Scooter / DPV Build - March 2014

Web Site updated with the Kort Nozzle and Real Time Display pictures - SubSurfaceTech - Scooter Micro

Just finishing the wiring - have gone with a low side power relay, simply because in this installation the physical size of the Relay determined where it could be mounted, have changed the location so will update the plans accordingly.

The Change of location simplified the wire routes which is why it was changed in the first place.

Oh this is all great, but where is the DIY rebreather?

Thank you for your interest.

Sadly Sir rebreather technology finds me in the twilight of my physical dive career, I take a healthy interest in Rebreather development, but the closest I ever got to the technology was an O2 cell and a voltmeter in the early days of Nitrox.

However saying that I would gladly accept the opportunity to become involved in a DIY Rebreather project if it was presented.

Well it works ... so that should be it, apart from a coat of paint on the Kort Nozzle and carbon wrap the Kort shroud / Body tube to make it a little more presentable.

Site updated with the wiring diagram for the power circuit, updated the downloadable plans with all the latest changes.

This week I will be tweaking the code for the monitoring circuit and making the PCB. As this is a KISS installation I will be fighting the urge to include logging to SD card so monitoring will just be Battery Volts and Motor Temperature.

Subsequent to this I will be installing an extendable handle / mount for a Go Pro and constructing a set of LED Micro Video lights.

Updates will be posted here as normal.

I would like to thank everybody that participated and hopefully I answered all questions fully and to your satisfaction.

Thanks again.

Hi Joe.

Thats really odd and I am unable to explain the McAfee issues you are experiencing ... ?

I can honestly assure you ( to my knowledge ) there is nothing wrong with my site having a few hundred hits daily this is the first time this has been raised ?

Hopefully you will take the time to click through.
