Hi
In the diving Paris show, a new Rb from the maker of the Triton: Neptune aCCR
Yes "a" not "m", not "e', and neither "h" :)
"a" for "adaptive. From h to m or e automatically.
Waiting for more details but from the outside it is a Triton with this new NGC computer which has an "electronic black box" allowing these "automatic" changes.
More to follow I hope :)
 
all my pipe dreams are coming true one by one 🙌🏽
Just without me working on them 😅
 
There is about 10 minutes video on their crapbook page showing it a bit:
 
So an ECCR with some sort of constant flow valve and which shuts off the solenoid under certain conditions?
 
Ok, after watching the video I’m a bit disappointed tbh

They developed a new computer— just that

That solenoid stick thingy just reminds me of the submatix eccr conversion kit for leaky orifice mCCR types, it’s a hack not a product

Love the idea, hate the execution (so far)

Would SW computers be compatible as controllers or just monitors is my next big question (gotta know more, will hassle them at BOOT for answers)

Keen to know the answer if just monitor or controller. Look forward seeing your response. Please keep us updated....thx

It looks to me that the SW is only for monitoring.
I cannot picture where they put the solenoid. How was this Submatix conversion?
Thanks

I didn’t use the submatix conversion, I came across it by chance while looking into modifying a kiss sidewinder
It is very similar to the conversions that TecMe does (for other projects; eg. solid state sensors):
A canister to carry the extra components + breakout cables back and forth

All I could find online about it was this brief product page, so I kinda stopped looking into it (for now, till you posted this thread)


In the Neptune FB video they briefly showed it, it was sitting more or less at hip level

My assumption is, as @grantmac said, that the solenoid sit downstream from the leaky valve, kinda acting as a „MAV“ button

2nd guess: that splits into 2 routes
- MAV for mccr mode
- 2nd solenoid (?) for eccr mode

I’ll ask about all that down at boot next week and keep y’all posted (unless they put out some public info/spec sheets)

What problem does all of that solve?

Not having an „aCCR“ 🤷🏽‍♀️

I first looked into it to see the potential of converting a kiss to an eccr — but I moved on as it seemed too flakey

Cards on the table, my interest is more of an engineering than a user pov kinda thing (I’d personally prefer to dive in mCCR mode anyways, and that’s the only training I got)

Edit: I’m also just guessing at how that „black box“ system might be constructed — I don’t know for sure one way or the other
