well technically it is since the D2A converter would just read "if sensors says 100%, output 65mV" but that largely defeats the purpose of going to a digital sensor since that board should really be in the computer and be directly interpreting the output of the sensor. Trying to use these with an existing fischer cabled dive computer would be really stupid IMO. Far better to use a computer designed to read them directly.
So I'm totally a CCR newb who just has his air dil cert. But after finishing the course the whole "iTs TrYiNg To KiLL u" schtick is such bs and dumb. Do you need to respect it and be on the ball? Yes.
Arguably the largest risk to rebreather diving that isn't operator error is an issue with the sensors. They way they work and they way they fail is really not suited to this environment and this sensor will alleviate the majority of those risks.
That’s a poor comparison. Yes, rebreathers are to be taken seriously and monitored. Yes, there are far too many ****** rebreather instructors (and even more divers). No, they are not prone to kill you or electing to do so. Your comparison would suggest cars are trying to kill you. Are cars trying to kill you?
It isn't trying to kill you in that case, you are trying to die.
No more or less than my rebreather is. Don't maintain your car, don't drive as you were trained, take hands off wheel, speed, drive under the influence, inattention, fiddling with your phone, lose control, mechanical failure (think breaks) end up dead/ badly injured (more likely to kill someone else too). Don't maintain your CCR, don't dive it as you were trained, old sorb, cells, not enough 02, inattention, you hurt yourself possible end up dead (much less likely to kill someone else in process) nothing to do with the rebreather trying to kill you all down to how you treat and dive the unit, attitude etc. It is just a silly statement that often get bandied around in discussion surrounding CCR.
