Nitroxbuddy: Wireless Oxygen Analyzer

[kelemvor]

Now I'm disappointed. O2 and CO analyzers are the last things really on my gear shopping list. Unfortunately my droid bionic doesn't do the bt 4.0 your device needs and it's way too new to replace the phone. Nice price, though. I think that's the cheapest O2 analyzer I've seen.

I guess it gives me another reason to pine for the impending galaxy s4!

Now you got me all excited! I'll definitely be following you guys on this one...

On a side note, looking to upgrade to a smart phone. Blue buddy is totally cool, I was a supporter from the beginning. Will it work on other smart phones besides the Galaxy??

Motorola Droid Razr MAAX (android OS) lists this:
BLUETOOTH® TECHNOLOGY ⁴Bluetooth Smart Ready; Stereo Bluetooth Class 2, Version 4.0 LE+EDR OPP, DUN, SPP, GAVDP, AVDTP, AVCTP, A2DP, AVRCP 1.4, HFP 1.5, DID, HID, HSP, MAP, PAN-NAP, PBAP, SM,GATT/ATT,GAP,HR

yea or nay for potential of connectivity in comparison to the Galaxy S3?

I am glad you like our Nitroxbuddy project. Support it on Kickstarter and tell your friends about it

Currently we are targeting iPhone 4S and 5, Samsung Galaxy S3, Note 2 and S4, Motorola Droid Razr and probably the new HTC.

What about shipping out the rest of the bluebuddy devices for the kickstarter supporters that funded the bluebuddy device before starting another kickstarter project.

Hi hear you :depressed:

We have already shipped out most of the Tech Buddy devices (the rest is going out this week) but, as you pointed out, only few bluebuddy.

The reason for this is that the housing for Tech Buddy is done here in California (by Deep Sea Supply), while the ones for bluebuddy come from overseas. Latest update I have from the manufacturer is 5/15. Once we get the housing it will take us only a couple of days to ship out the units.

May be nitpicking but looking at your screenshot you are claiming an accuracy of .05% which I doubt any sensor and measuring protocols in diving context will provide. But I could be wrong

The screenshot is related to our beta version of the App. It does NOT mean that we claim that level of accuracy. Sometime people mix up precision with accuracy.

I agree with you that O2 sensors are not that accurate - at all.
Actually, typical O2 sensors for scuba are far less accurate than what people think.

Well thats not totally true. On measuring tools as far as I remember from the university course the accuracy can be determined by looking at the number of digits after the point. And the accuracy will be +- half of the last digit.

So if the accuracy of the tool is 1 percent but the tool has 5 digits after the point than those digits are noise misleading and really useless.
