 +====== diy oxygen analyzer ======

 In July 2021 I assembled an oxygen analyzer. The purpose of this device is to measure the oxygen content of a gas; for my purposes I'm using it to analyze breathing gases for diving. Commercial analyzers are available at reasonable life-support prices. Having an interest in electronics hardware, I opted to use a [[https://www.oxycheq.com/products/el-cheapo-ii-analyzer-kit|DIY kit]] instead. For the search engines, that's the "El Cheapo II oxygen analyzer" by OxyCheq. The kit is all the components to build an analyzer and a paper printout of instructions on how to put them together. I found the printout charming. Unfortunately I left it at the hardware store when I went there to get some snips and solder.  This was a significant setback for me as this was my first electronics project of any sort and I had no idea what the hell I was doing. There's no digital copy available for public download and obtaining one from the gentleman who owns & operates OxyCheq took some patience, but eventually I was able to get a replacement for the instructions and begin work on the analyzer. In July 2021 I assembled an oxygen analyzer.
