Open Source Dive Computer

I know if I was working on code for a dive computer it wouldn't be the only thing on my arm when I went diving...

Lol very much agreed. I would only use this has a hack project for fun. Would never rely on faulty hardware i create my self

Awesome! thanks man! What about design specs? (aka hardware) any clue on that?

What is the address I should ship the beer to?

Don’t get too excited, you have to read it next. The point was that you could mess with the computer you bought from them. I believe exactly one person did that.

Yeah it looks like ANSI C and Assembler. It's been a few years but I've done a fair ammount of assembler coding. I guess next I need to figure out what processor specificlaly is in use and get the instruction set information. That's pretty critical to writing useful assembler code.

 

[KenGordon]

That’s harder than starting from scratch with a sensible processor that can do it in a proper language. TBH I was put off their product by reading the code.

I have been thinking a little of building an Arduino thingie.

My idea was to first build it as an gage/log only, then add functions later.

be careful reading through his pages, there's a chance of rising blood pressure

Nice Thanks for that!

My approach is going to start with a digital compass. I'm thinking of doing something like this:
