Makes sense Erik, thanks. Matt.

I've seen your mods, look really good! You can fly the same with the unmodified Vision if the computer dies. You'd have to be able to calibrate the secondary, and then I guess you select a lower than low SP - say 0.4. Then you have a parachute. If you haven't noticed you have a major...

On more recent Vision software the mushroom valve test is included in the start-up check you are prompted to do. I do mine during assembly, however. None of the ones you list are specific to the inspo. You missed a few though ;-) Matt.

Interesting - I had not spotted that. Would make sense of some of the comments. And when I re-read Bruce's post on DiveCAN I think that is what he is saying: http://www.ccrexplorers.com/showthread.php?t=17167&p=166062&viewfull=1#post166062 Matt.

Only mentions monitoring not control. Totally different things. Yes, it's a stupid idea, sorry :-) All you have available is cell monitoring, I guess it support all 3 cells if you buy the adapter from, for example, N@90. I think that's all that is available to you. You could add a leaky...

What about this, Erik? http://www.jj-ccr.com/the-jj-ccr/controller.aspx Matt.

Makes sense, given the extra wiring needed for solenoid etc.

Really? I don't see it on the web-site: https://www.shearwater.com/products/petrel-2-fischer/ I thought rEvo/JJ etc. had controllers, but they were not sold to the public? I may be wrong. However, if you have a controller, how do you plan to fit a separate solenoid in the lid, drill a hole...

I paid £250 and got Mod3, BnB accommodation, 5 days hard boat diving out of Plymouth. I thought this a good deal. Matt.

humm

This is what I did moving from Classic to Vision. I did my mod3 with the same outfit that I did mod1 with, and got a good price so was happy, I would be less happy nowadays as the number of opportunities to pay for a course seem to have dramatically increased! Matt.

Alternative way of putting it is that most divers won't simply fork out money unless they think it really necessary. Or perhaps that's because I hail from Yorkshire!

I don't ever find the cell-checker very accurate on that chart because I find the gauge on the mini-check hopeless as the mv output is to 1DP and the gauge is "by eye". How are you reading the values in air? On the dining room table? Doing it with air in the pot is the best way to get the...

You can remove all the batteries and then press the left button to discharge the capacitor. That is as close to ctrl-alt-del you can get. You can try new batteries. You can try soaking the button in warm water for an hour or two and then silicon-oil overnight. Otherwise it is broken, so...

How do you propose to wire in a solenoid? Does the Petrel even have PO2 control? I think simpler to get it fixed. Matt.

I think the reluctance, Randy, is instructors want to charge £500-£700 for cross-overs and basically there isn't anything of substance to teach for the most part. Divers are tight-arses, never forget that! Cheers Matt.

Never heard the joke? I agree that most folks don't seem to have a clue how the dual-electronics work and actually a one day cross over (worth about £100, I would think) would be worthwhile. Or just RTFM. Matt.

If you are Mod1 inspo then I would got for one of them, especially with your budget. I don't think you have enough in the pot for a Vision, so you're left with a Classic. I'd look for one with at least the ABS case (post January 1999), Apeks 2nd stages (post May 1999) and backlit handsets...

We should take a picture, German, and a sense of humour :-)
