Temperature reset

[Mornemont]

Hi all !

I just received my OSTC mk2. It’s as nice as I expected.

There is just one drawback: the temperature sensor shows a high value (28.5 to 31°C) while the temperature of the room is around 20°C. I tried to reset the temperature with JDiveLog but a message appears telling the communication timed-out. The computer resets but the temperature is not updated. JDiveLog worked well from scratch to update the computer parameters and make the simulations thus I didn’t change any parameters on the port settings.

Is this due to the fact that the batteries are charging?
Is it because of a problem in JDiveLog?
Is it because the communication protocol is different to update the temperature?

Thank you!

Hello,

The temperature compensation function is no longer used and required due to a bug fix in the sensor routine. Right now, this setting has no effect on the actual temperature. During charge the unit may heat up a few degrees and it requires at least 10 minutes in air to get the actual temperature correct after disconnecting the charger or after the charge is done.

Regards,
Matthias

Hello,

Mea culpa. I made some tests with a thermocouple and it seems that the temperature is actually correct now. It might have been the first charge that rose the temperature of 5 degrees.

Thank you.

Hello,

Sounds OK, the Mk.2 dissipates (=Heat) about 0,75W when charging.
