Subject: Re: Homemade 02 analyzers
Chris,

The sensitivity you refer to is likely due to the O2 Hacker design that uses a
radio (non-linear) potentiometer.  It goes slow on one side and incredibly fast
on the other.

If anyone out there is using a PM128 with the non-linear pot, replace it with a
100 ohm linear pot.  Replace the existing resisitors with a single 360ohm
resistor and you will get rid of the sensitivity so that it will work just like
the commercial units.

Regards,

Patrick
