Infrared Interface for downloading dive data?

[WestsideDiver]

Hey Divers,

I recently bought an Aladin 2G dive console. I am looking to download my dive information to my computer via an infrared interface but have no idea where to find one. I went to Best Buy a couple of days ago and they had no idea what i was talking about?

Some guidance would be appreciated...

Thanks

Try doing a search here on ScubaBoard.

Several folks on this particular thread have offered up various IR dongle solutions.

I have four uwatecs that download through iRda. Buy the cheapest you can find (online).

IF you have a 64 bit operating system, buy one for that.

Or, if you ask nicely, I'll send you the one that came with one of mine . . . since I never use it, anyway. :blinking:

Just make sure you get the 64-bit driver, if that is what your PC operating system is.

Don't forget to download the latest Smart Trak from here:

Not sure I'd recommend buying the cheapest one. I did that. Every time I downloaded my 2G to my laptop it was successful... but crashed the system forcing me to reboot.
