8buck September 9th, 2003, 04:19 PM Anyone know how to make one of these I can not see spending the hundred and something for it from the dive shops...( you know the cable that runs from the dive puter to my home puter) el-ninio September 9th, 2003, 05:17 PM The best and simplest interface I know of is the one by roli, found in http://www.geocities.com/scubadiver_roli/english.html it's easy to build, cheap and works very well. I have made a dozen or so of them so far, and all my users seem happy. Along the way I have actually made some improvments to the basic setup. first of all, I have made an easy to make layour for Veroboard - using it should save you the need to make a spesial-purpuse board or about half the welding time. I have made a pdf version for the layout, and I will attach it here. you print it our, cut one of the small circut diagrams, and place on the top part of the Veroboard (the side without the lines). with a pin you make holes in the paper whereever a componant needs to go through, and then you put them in place and weld. very easy. note that all diodes face upword, and that you actually need an extreemly small (7holes by 14 lines) piece of Veroboard. I will attach some pictures of the board as well. the attached file is a compressed pdf el-ninio September 9th, 2003, 05:51 PM the dress is actually a working conncetior - you can make one out of an old c-card :) el-ninio September 9th, 2003, 05:52 PM just to make things clear. BTW, what type of sunto do you have? 8buck September 9th, 2003, 08:30 PM I have the sunto viper in a console exactly how hard is it to make lol not stupid i am a electrican but the electronics part kinda does not compute...lol jamiei September 12th, 2003, 11:01 PM www.athenshomesolutions.com rakjar December 3rd, 2003, 03:36 AM jamiei once bubbled... www.athenshomesolutions.com I ordered an interface from Jamie and when I received it, it worked great. I never get the chance to say thank you to people I buy stuff from but to Jamie, Thanks. You saved me alot of money and the product works as you said it would. jamiei December 6th, 2003, 06:33 PM It's always nice to hear. I'm glad I could help. rwpatterson357 December 6th, 2003, 06:39 PM I built my own as well from roli's information. But it looks to me like those that jamiei makes would be best route unless you just like tinkering with things. Great price on what looks like a solid product. Good job jamiei!!!! russ scubasean December 6th, 2003, 07:47 PM rakjar once bubbled... I ordered an interface from Jamie and when I received it, it worked great.

Ditto...My interface works great, and was a nice price. jamiei December 8th, 2003, 10:18 PM thanks again guys... I need to hear things like that after the customers I sometimes run into... I think that what I came up with as far as the complete package (enclosure, contacts, simple hands free set up, and the addition of professionally made circuit boards) whether you get it prebuilt or in kit form work as well as anything out there, bar none. Hopefully suunto won't pull a fast one on us and make this design obsolete anytime soon. I have accumulated way too many resistors and diodes for that to happen. We all owe a a big thanks to the guys like Roli Wasmer that hammered out the schematics. Without them a lot of us would quite possibly have a little lighter wallets.
