I have just updated to the latest stable (3.11) and was pleased to see the AutoSP functionality, and tried this on the simulator - switches on the descent but not back on the way back to the surface, is this the intended functionality?

My CCR (Inspiration) switches both ways? Guess this would mean ...

Ok, tried a magnet and BootLoader 1 and have recovered (phew)

Problem was caused by Bootloader 2.0 I think, when I try a web download
I get a message

After successfully updating my OSTC2n many times with new firmware, I have just tried to update from 3.0 to 3.02 and am stuck on the 'Bootloader Please wait' screen, been there for 15 minutes!

Read all the posts about the bootloader software but the PIC is not found while it is frozen like this, so ...

Seasons greeting to you all, and thank you Heinrich (and others) for all your hard work.

Here's looking forward to enjoyable and safe diving in 2014

Best wishes

This thread makes me smile - I asked the same question some time ago and also got trampled on...

Guess this is why there are audible alarms in commercial passenger carrying aircraft, because the pilots are 'recreational' and don't watch the instruments LOL

So why bother showing decompression/PPO2 ...

Speaking as one of the lazy English who does not learn another language, you can always 'cut and paste' the text into 'translate.google.com'...

Bit more effort true but the OSTC is a fine example of ... wait for it... GERMAN engineering so I don't mind the talk 'going local' (although google ...

I would agree with everything said by 'boefst' - that's the way I use mine, set to 1.30 all the time

The training will emphasis the contant looking at the handset (I have a Vision too) which is absolutely correct but the OSTC has a fabulous display underwater, (puts the Vision to shame...) so I ...

Option 2 and diluent only when in CCR mode for me too

Okey dokey, my email is parsons.cj@gmail.com

You need a good PIC manual - I bought "Easy PIC'n" - you can get it from Amazon

I notice you are in South Devon? I live in Exeter and work in Torquay if you want a chat to help you get going, but I am certainly no expert

Cheers

Please don't drop the profile graph, why not just add another page to the display if more information is needed

Think I may have missed something? I have the 228 beta from HW and the safety stop starts at 6m?

How is your recompiled hex different? Does it have the CF to allow the time at the safety stop to be adjusted?

If so, are there any plans to merge these changes into the main code?

Thanks

Sorry to follow up my own message - but it looks as if the translation has already been done?

If you tell me which version you want, version 2.21 or 2.28beta? and send me your email address I can compile an Italian version for you and send it to you?

Best wishes

I don't speak Italian, but would be happy to compile a new version of the firmware for you if this helps?

The process would be I would send you a file with a list of the English (or any other language currently supported) text, you provide the Italian translations and I recompile an Italian version ...

Ahhh - yes, you are absolutely correct, thanks very much

Best wishes

Just installed 2.28 beta - English version - the right hand button (eventually) shows

BSat: 110%
BDes: 90%
Last: 3m

I get the last stop depth, but what are the other two figures?? My gradient factors are 15/85 so it isn't those, but I thought that this used to say GF_hi and GF_lo??

You can use the normal firmware? (Current version is 2.21)

Change the decompression model to ZH-L16 OC or L16-GF OC ?

Have a look at page 27 in the manual?

This will give you Buhlmann tables for Open Circuit diving, with or without Gradient Factors (if you are not familiar with Gradient Factors ...

I have been following the discussion(s)about the 130m limit - and totally agree that if the sensors are rated to 120m (as well as the decompression calculations) then it seem sensible not to ignore this?

However, if anyone does not agree with this, why do they not simply disable this shut off in ...

This is intended for Nakatomi - if HW doesn't want to revisit the safety stop discussion again, I can generate the firmware adjusted for a stop of 3-6 or 4-6m for you if this is helpful?

Same for me - 2.26 beta seems to work fine, and the safety stop countdown is behaving as intended in the simulator.

I bought it and wished I hadn't...keyed to one PC only, installed it on the office PC before I discovered this

Yes, I tried this last night and this also worked for me, looks like the initial 'On' indicated needs toggling off and back on as you say - although when dropping back to 10m the count got reset as HW indicated - ie started from 3 mins again, not from where it was before IIRC

Not often I do no stop ...

Strange - I tried this and mine doesn't work in a simulated dive either! Perhaps I will try again tonight - I am not going to use it anyway but am curious

Off topic but I would also vote for 10 gases for what it's worth

Keep up the good work

I have been doing a little experimenting and it looks as if using the Bootloader v2 'web update' gives an error message saying 'Could not access site information' but still creates an empty update file 'webfile.hex', which I suspect I managed to upload to my OSTC (not paying attention to what was ...

You are my hero...

This worked, I was really worried there for a while, I will admit

I now have a working OSTC back again - I also repeated the update with Bootloader 2 and the 221 firmware and this worked also, the log output is shown below - I tried to get the web update and as you can see still ...
