D3 PC interface & software

[fabrice]

Hello,

I want to build myself the PC interface for my D3. I found lots of info and the schematics here.
Did anyone already used this schematic ? Or another one ?

For the software, I know that the suunto dive manager is freely available, but I'm not using windows so I'm looking for a unix program.
If none exists, I'm gonna write my own if I can guess which protocol the D3 is using...
So don't hesitate to tell me what the ideal freediving sotware manager should be !

I buillt the "old" one on the downloadpage about a year ago and it works. I see no reason why the simplyfied transistor-version wouldnt work. its much simpler so I would go with that one if I built it today...I downloaded the divemanager from suuntos homepage and its easy to work with and fun to look at the curves it draws up with depth and divetime...good luck

if u wanted to run a windows program under unix/linux gui there is a program called winex that is availible (but u probly already know this) other than that i think it would be a pain to write the program yourself

Hi Fabrice,

i know the frustration of the windows-only view of the world ... heart rate monitor, minidisc player, D3 ....
