Bh-01 Last Dive And Fail (update)

[Skull diver]

After snatching a couple of hours at the day off for a session, I'm back to pissed off today.

The Bh-01 headset to which an earpiece had exploded was barely able to transfer sound even at volume 9.

Eventually with a gentle current but a constant wave motion, I was forced to look at the screen to figure out what was going on under the coil.

That said I am about to set about building a piezo headphone and end of story🙄.

I kindly ask anyone who has already discussed this topic, to direct me to the post link for the male connector and positive/negative pole diagram.

I saved screenshots a while back, but can't find the folder on my pc.

Thank you all in advance🙏

Sorry to hear. I’ve never had that problem, but I now won’t be surprised when I do.

There was a great thread about building headphone connectors for the D2 here but I can't find it. I did manage to save a graphic from that thread so this should help, but I don't know which connector is used for that.

Here's the relevant thread:  @Carolina has built his own set of compatible waterproof phones for the D2, so maybe he will chime in here.

At some point I decided to keep it short and finding an old pair of Grey Ghost Amphibians I had on the Ctx, I will adapt the connector of the BH-01s for an audio test.

M8 connectors are available for absurd amounts of money and with cables already installed or females to cut.

Having to insulate and resin all the poles and body before the thread, it is silly to buy one already wired, while the single piece from China takes a month to arrive in Europe...D a m n

I would not mess around with the cheap Bones Phones. I would get a pair of Tony Eisenhower waterproof diving headphones.  Contact here: tony@idigbeaches.com

This is my drawing except someone has added pin 6 as pos. 4 & 5 are pos. and neg. for bone phones square tone only. 1 & 2 are pos.and neg. for speaker phones square and PWM tones. I do not know what pin 6 does.

I have a doubt...With a regular Grey Ghost underwater headset, should I use bonephone poles 4 and 5 or 1 and 2?

From what I've read, the bonephone outputs are louder through regular headphones, but you can only use square tones on that. For reference, all of the waterproof phones I've found use the bonehone output.

Humm. I am wired with headphones through the bonephone connection. Thought I have tone differences between PWM and Full Tones????

But I am running speakers......not piezo speakers.
