JTRAK software version 1.2.5 fails to save air usage data and deletes old data

31 August 2012 - 12:08 AM

I have recently upgraded to the latest version of Jtrak software (1.2.5). To my horror I have noticed that the software not only fails to save the air usage data, but it has deleted the old air usage data that I have religiously entered after each set of dives. Has anyone else had this experience. I have contacted the Dutch distributor for Scubapro, but so far (more than a week later) they have not had the decency to send me an acknowledgement or a reply to my question about this.

Corecell wraps for B&J Arms to assist in Buoyancy Control

27 July 2012 - 09:33 AM

Hi,

I have completed the first step of DIY modification of standard strobe arms. I have used Corecell, a closed cell foam used in the boat building industry, in 4 layers to wrap my arms. Fixed the corecell to the arms with tie wraps. The layers of Corecell are easily glued together with any two-component epoxy glue. The attached pictures are the first stage as the corecell is not very 'bump' resistant (well to a point). Next I intend to wrap this construction with a narrow tube of black lycra (very stretchable fabric). The diameter of the tube will be just on the diameter of the B&J arms and stretched over the Corecell wrap. The effect of this will be that the fabric gathers aroound the end of the Corecell wrap next to the ball heads (a bit of cosmetics). The final wrapping will be with thin neoprene fitted with a bit of velcro to hold it together (photos will come later). This will provide the bump-proofing for a bit of durabiity. Anyway, this is the theory, next month the proof will be in the pudding in Bonaire (20-27/8)Attached File  B&J Arms covered.jpg   150.43K   32 downloadsAttached File  B&J Arms covered side on.jpg   100.13K   41 downloads

magic filters for Olympus E-PL1 in EPT-01 housing

01 July 2012 - 12:27 AM

Hi Fellow Forum Members,

I am looking into getting a magic filter for my Olympus E-PL1, Olympus 14-42 kit lens, inside a EPT-01 housing (with the original port). I have looked on the Magic Filter website, but can't find a solution. Has anyone tried to fit a magic filter to this combination? Your assistance greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Robert
