Not bothering to read half the responses here but those complaining at the top that this is dangerous… well I don’t see anyone running out and dropping 5000 usd minimum to try this hack. a rebreather costs at least that much. If you happen to already have a rebreather then you already know what you are doing and can make your own judgment about using this hack at home

Hi,

I am looking for ink cartridges for the Epson RX500. I have bought compatibles in the past but the ink quality is not so great or the chips dont recognise. Any help would be appreciated :)

in diving you learn to respect nature and your equipment and know the limitations. you prevent diasters by proper scheduled maintenance and rely on the instruments and backup equipment for safety.
if the rebreather refill is built to spec and carefully assembled, what’s to say that you can do it yourself. if the o2 level is too high you can switch to a pony bottle or use your buddy’s octupus…or do these things not come with a backup regulator. chances are you will get certified in rebreather diving and know how to stay within the limits.

I really gave it no thought until now. There is no readily apparent hold harmless statement here on hackaday. Perhaps they aren’t worth the bandwidth it takes to send them, I don’t know.

"Furthermore, it would seem stupid to modify anything your life depends upon; technical knowledge or not, scuba or otherwise."

Somebody had to do it originally. It's not as if being associated with a business automatically makes your work any good.

I have a feeling that most people who have access to a rebreather in the first place maybe know enough that this isn't such a huge deal.

Try to see if you find the data sheet for the co2 sensor, usually this is enough to figure things out.
Looked on digikey there was one http://rocky.digikey.com/weblib/Thermometrics/Web%20Data/AD81.pdf

Im building an indoor grow enviroment controller, using hobby robot parts, and a microcontroller. I cant find a DIY CO2 dectector board, or schematic. All the ones commercialy avail are for $200+, I just cant see why a guy cant locate the components, and build one. I did find a CO2 sensor,$6+ but cant find a circut to drive it. I was hoping that the scuba guy might know, if he is still around.

I think Hackaday has gone down hill from around a year ago.. wasn’t there a change over of writers?

Awesome post I've always wondered what it takes to support a re-breather.

I think it should be posted. If someone does something stupid based on information in the post that is their fault. Maybe that will reduce the chance they will reproduce and pass on those "great" genes.

Use a disclaimer if you want to legally protect yourself, not to protect others.

I personally prefer to use something that My life depends on that was built by myself. I’m in manufacturing for a living, and I can tell you what happens to people on Mondays and Fridays. Hack on! For those who don’t like it, don’t hack , that simple

Only put a disclaimer on thing like this, on things which cause you to make or modify something upon which your life _depends_.

I don’t necessarily think that this shouldn’t have been posted, there just should have been a disclaimer. And yes, we do need to protect some people from themselves, but not at the cost of babying those who can handle themselves.

I do think that I was wrong in the first post to say to not post this article, therefore, I would like to let the text to now read: “FIRST!!! w00t!!”
