we are also very interested to have VPM running on a real diving
computer; that's one reason, we build our oDiCo project based on a
CORTEX M4 kernel, we are using a STM32F4, that has a build in FPU
to speed up floating point operations.<br class="">
<br class="">
We think it is very important for divers to know about the deco
modell they are diving with. In former times Bühlmann's model was
well documented and dive computers, like the ALADIN, worked close
related to the diving tables based an the Bühlmann model.<br class="">
When diving with modern deco models, like Suunto's RGBM, I am
always in doubt about the "thoughts" of my diving computer,
because these modern models are closed shop, no way to check the
proper operation.<br class="">
<br class="">
We think it is time for the open source idea also in diving
computers, for the planning of a dive as well as for the dive
itself in real time.<br class="">
An good structured, well documented open source implementation of
VPM-B as a C-Lib would have the chance to get a proven modern
bubble deco algorithms, that could be used in desktop computers
and also in diving computers.<br class="">
I could be evaluated by a lots of peoples ...<br class="">

Your comments?<br class=""></div></div></div></blockquote></div><div class=""><br class=""></div>of course I agree (otherwise we would’t propose that project) and many of our users ask for such a thing (as other deco software offers it). <div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">As far as practical use is concerned, however, I doubt that it would make so much of a difference: I believe that Buehlmann with gradient factors offers already pretty much all of the flexibility (in its two parameters) to fit pretty much any deco model even for the types of dives the usual tec diver does within the error bars of physiological uncertainty. I.e. you can already tune your gradient factors to make it mimic any reasonable bubble based deco schedule within the appropriate uncertainty. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Let me once more point out my pamphlet (in German) about this: <a href="http://euve10195.vserver.de/~robert/dekotheorie.pdf" class="">http://euve10195.vserver.de/~robert/dekotheorie.pdf</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Best</div><div class="">Robert</div><div class=""><div apple-content-edited="true" class="">
