rEvo modifications, tweaks and customisations

As much as I would like to not have the 2 batteries in the transmitters, I think I still prefer the data on the NERD and not the Controller.

The beauty of DiveCAN (or any CAN bus for that matter) is that the sensors write to the bus and anything monitoring that bus (whether it be a controller or a monitor) can display that information.

Anyway, as @stuartv said, it's not a reason to choose one CCR over another, but it's certainly a very nice feature that I wish other CCRs utilized. rEvo doesn't use a "head" so I'm not sure what that implementation would look like, however.

While we are diverging from modification into the dreamland of how it would be nice if rEvo built it this way...

Adding hardwired pressure transducers shouldn't be difficult. I imagine it would be very much like the input from the RMS.

Where would the high pressure transducer be mounted? The only feeds into any box are low pressure. Thus you’d need TWO wired transducers with DiveCAN interfaces that are waterproof and can be plugged into the bus. How much are those five pin DiveCAN connectors?

Or just use a couple of wireless transmitters like everyone else. Cheap, reliable, no extra holes or cables.

Or have I missed something?

I think the lack of integration of transmitters or secondary handset has become one of the revos merits. Most of this fluff dying on some of these new shiny rebreathers you may be stuck sending the head in for repair. The revo just put an a gauge on it or add a third cell to a nerd if you have one and dive it.
