Introducing OSCT MK2 2N

[Ribellu]

OSCT MK2 2N
Has everything you need including, free upgrades, multigases, nitrox, trimix, 20 dives without recharching, 3 setpoints + 5 bailouts for recycler use.
It's open source !, and can also be used for leisure. I was told from a few users that this computer is really easy to use, no headaches despite being tek oriented, and the display is great. Price: 735€
Next week it is going to be mine (selling my Icon HD).

Looks excellent. I'm about to order one myself.

I like that it's all setup for bungee mount and the active color display. For the rec diver it's missing AI and a digital compass, and the handy graphs showing nitrogen loading and O2 toxicity.

What kind of battery and button system is it using?

- Replaceable Li-Ion Battery
- Battery life > 40h at maximum brightness in Divemode
- Charges via any USB Port within 5 hours
- Two Piezo-electric Switches, usable even with extra thick gloves

Nitrogen and o2 Toxicity are displayed in % mode.

Here you go: HW
Another Link translated in english to see the different screens.
The diver said he changed the Sat and Desat parameters. 125% sat (+25%) and 85% desat (+15%).
You're welcome.

It looks like it does show the nitrogen and helium tissue loading graphs in an alternate display. And in log mode it even displays your profile. I also like that it has a built in simulator. It even allows you to set the salinity.

Also size of digits as I use a bifocal mask. If it had wireless AI I'd go for it too.

After diving can you post a review please. Are you a technical diver using trimix?

It looks like it's meant to interface with DivingLog http://www.divinglog.de/english/home/index.php and the firmware updates with his bootloader.

The other thing missing for us rec divers is the safety stop countdown though it does have a stopwatch timer that could be done manually. I could not see in the manual if there is a setting for Imperial units? Is that possible?

Another computer in that class is the Dive Rite Nitek Q, though this one looks more elegant.

Now that's interesting. The two things I really don't want in a computer is AI and a digital compass. I check my air maybe three times per dive and trust my SK-7 ten times more than any digital device. Those features are a waste as far as I'm concerned and I would probably pay extra to avoid them...

It looks like it's meant to interface with DivingLog Diving Log 5.0 - scuba logbook software for diver - dive log, scuba log and the firmware updates with his bootloader.

I'm not a tech diver yet Adam, I will get my Trimix certification by the beginning of next year, that is why I will purchase this one. I'm not planning on becoming a full time tech diver, I just want to be able to dive deep when needed. For example during vaccation if there is a wreck to see below 200 feet.
To be honest with you I was hesitating between OSCT and the Luna.
Problems with the Luna: it is an old diving computer, you must pay 100€ for multigases, NO TRIMIX, divers have been waiting for the last 3 years to have it, big screen but nothing compared to the quality display of the OSCT.
I got in touch with the reseller (innodive), the guy told me this computer is so easy to handle that it can be used by rec divers with the default settings.
Don't know about Imperial units but I'll ask him. I browsed the manual, there is no asterix on the depth display, so I guess the menu can be set to english but the values remain in metric system.
I feel like LouieLouie about the wireless AI, not really important to me, but I do agree with you about the missing compass eventhough I don't dive in lakes and I have a good sense of direction.
