Hello,
Long time no beta version for the hwOS. Attached to this post is the new 1.82 beta with some new features for testers:
CHANGE: change button sensitivity range and default (OSTC2)
NEW: MOD Warning (Can be disabled)
NEW: Depth dependend ascend speed (Can be disabled)
NEW: Graphical speed indicator (Can be disabled)
NEW: Option to always show the ppO2, shows ppO2 for Diluent in CC mode
NEW: Mode Auto SP: Automatically switches the SP during descent (CC Mode)
NEW: Deco planer computes gas consumption for all gases and can compute bailout plans for CC modes
Please use only in the simulator or when carrying a backup computer during diving.
Downgrading to the 1.81 is, as always, possible and will not corrupt any settings or logbook data.
Enjoy the weekend,
Matthias

Dear Matthias,
I have buttons sensibility problems with my new OSTC 2, FW 1.81.
Buttons are sometimes very, very hard to press. Sometimes both, sometimes just one. The sensibility gets normal after a reboot. It's hard to get the reboot, because when it happens you can't move in menu with fingers. I had to use a peace of wood to push buttons. I found that it happens with 40% (default) and also with 20% buttons sensibility too.
Will FW 1.82 solve this problems? Where can I get the 1.82 beta?
Regards,
Boris

Hi,
I had the same issue with another brand computer using the same buttons.
One button just didn't want to react on pressing, no matter how hard I pressed it.
The problem was solved by sligthly tapping the button with my finger.

Hi,
The term "Sensitivity" is a bit problematic because lower values mean higher sensitivity... As soon as I have found a better name this will be renamed.
The buttons are new and in some kind different to our old ones:
- The membrane is three times as thick as in the old ones. That results in much more robustness and lower sensitivity. Unfortunately we had some users using a boltsnap to tap on them. This resulted in replacing quite a lot of buttons recently... The new buttons are more robust.
- The buttons are optimized for temperatures between zero and 25 degrees. Especially when it's very hot they are stiffer then intend, unfortunately. This is going to be changed with a firmware update at some point.
regards,
Matthias

Hi Matthias,
what about "NEW: Mode Auto SP: Automatically switches the SP during descent (CC Mode)"
I can't find it in the menu.

Hello Boris,
Menu -> CCR Setup -> CCR Mode: Auto And the OSTC will select the SP2-5 (It starts with SP1) during the descent.

Matthias

Hi,
That's unfortunately, true. The OSTC2 does not yet support "Auto SP" mode. Will be available in the next version.
regards,
Matthias
