Subject: Re: O2 analyzer circuit board change.
Which new version of the board did you get.  I have built 3 analyzers for
people and I have ended up with 3 different circuit boards.  The first one I
recieved was the one that is on the website.  The second is a slightly changed
version that still uses normal components.  You still need to remove the
resister "R3" as labeled on the circuit board but it is in a different place I
believe on the top of the board rather than next to the adjusting
potentiometer.  The third PM128 I recieved was a real joy.  It came with
surface mount resisters which are fun to work with since they are so small. 
The resister you need to remove is still labeled "R3".  You need to remove that
resister altogether you cannot cut off the leads you have to un-solder it from
the board.  You are then left with 2 pads to solder the leads from the new
potentiometer.  

BTW the PM128 that I worked on with the surface mount resisters was also back
lit which was kind of nice.

Good luck and safe diving,

Brian Kuner

> The plans on Jim Cobb's website   for making an O2 analyzer call for a PM128
circuit board. A new circuit board has replaced the one illustrated on the
website but the layout of the new one is completely different than the older
one. I tried to contact Jim Owens (who wrote the article) but my email bounced.
If anyone knows how to reach him or configure the new CB I'd really like to
hear from them. Until this gets figured out I'd caution people from buying the
PM128 to make an O2 analyzer. Thanks,
C.
