Alexa, what's the MOD?

[Sean Walberg]

I was trying to learn more about Alexa skills and I happen to just have completed my Nitrox class, so I made a skill to calculate best mix and MOD. Ask Alexa for the "nitrox calculator" skill. Would love to hear any thoughts!

Aside from the crazy idea of wiretapping your house to the internet, I'd rather just do the simple math rather than tox because my wiretap f'ed up.

I’m not an Alexa user but I do use apps for dive calculations.

I laud your efforts and if nothing else, I’m sure the development helped you internalise the maths.

I also think having an internet connected microphone in your house is a bad idea. I do use online calculators for MOD and best mix; although I have to admit I saved the source locally in case the site I use ever goes down.

Is it computing

PO2 = (Max depth in meters / 10 + 1) x % of O2 in your bottle ?

Then solve for PO2 = 1.4 ?

Yea, but in feet (making the unit system an option is next on my list).

Ah, the Internet of Things. Nothing like having your identity stolen through your wifi-enabled egg timer.....

If you’re really paranoid about those things, you should watch “Snowden”. It’ll make you put a piece of tape over your camera lenses (at least the ones attached to WiFi). If they want to watch me, they’re gonna be bored.

I’m not an Alexa user. I do like to shut off the lights in my son’s room just to aggravate him.

I’ll stick to my dive planner.

I have nothing to hide....I asked her, she told me to drop dead?

Don't let your paranoia get in the way of the fact that checking one box turns that off. To be fair - it;s enabled by default as some people use their Echo to contact (and listen in on) other Echo's.

A bigger issue for me would be no access to Alexa when I'm on a dive boat with no wi-fi.

A standalone app might be of more use.
