OT: Aqua Lung I100 Cable

[Simon Eigeldinger]

Hi all,

I just got me an Aqua Lung I100.
Thought it was coming with a cable, but no.
do i need the special interface cable or can i use some standard off the
shelf cable?

Greetings and thanks,
Simon

Sadly, I think it needs the special aqualung USB cable that retails for
something ridiculous like $85 USD.

Even more sadly, I don't think libdivecomputer actually supports the i100
at all. I assume that it is very similar to the i200 and i300 that *are*
supported, but it might take some debugging and some help from Jef Driesen
to get a download going correctly even with the cable..

Maybe thinking of selling it again.
Maybe getting a Mares Puck would be better and then buying the also not
so cheap pc interface for around € 40.

As a blind diver there is no accessible dive computer at the moment but
a logging device would be enough at least to take it with me as a blackbox.
Any other computers which are cheap and do the job?
Mostly i need air and nitrox.
the dive profile can be exported into a csv file which can then be read
as it is possible using subsurface though this is also not a completely
accessible task but might be possible.

though we try to contact a local electronics school which might be able
to build a accessible dive computer which at least could show some
information through vibrations.

Greetings,
Simon

I pushed the code for the i100 this morning.

Cool. Once Linus merges that, we'll be able to add support for it in 4.8.3

I merged Jef's i100 work, and pushed it out. It looks like the parsing
is literally identical to the I200, just with the header at a
different offset.

Anyway, the "you need a cable that costs almost as much as the dive
computer" is sadly still true (even if a _slight_ exaggeration).

solved the problem now.
Ordered a Mares Puck with the interface for 160 euro and now selling the
aqualung.
