really cheap hesrt monitor

[Gordon Endersby]

Aldi are selling a heart rate monitor for £12 soon.
The sensor is generic so could be read by an arduino and suitable radio reciever.
Havnt seen one this cheap.

Hey,

I can go if you want, not planning to go near one, but the one in Acer Road's not far?

That would be nice. Unless anyone else is going anyway? You never know with these offers if they'll actually have any in.

[Tom Lynch]

Ah, I thought you were talking about Lidl, I don't eve know where Aldi is?

[Tom Lynch]

Yep, that is a bit far out of my way for today I am afraid!

[Dermot Jones]

No problem... Would it be a big seller?

[Tom Lynch]

No idea, never been to Aldi or Lidl.

While there, is a cheapie carbon monoxide meter worth while?

The skeptometer reads high for these devices in general, but an effectively underground space in which people might, conceivably, have gas-based unflued heaters or other sources of inefficient combustion might be useful?

[Gordon Endersby]

Most of the Aldi stuff ive bought from there specials has been ok.
Most is manufactured in Europe and the tools have generally been good for a cheap tool and a lot better than cheap tools from Asia.
But not up to professional or trades standards.

But the Carbon monoxide detector will be designed for domestic properties and perfectly serviceable.
Not something for the volume of the arch.
As domestic monitors have to be placed in an optimum position in the room you want to monitor. Not a vaulted ceiling.

No gases off any kind in pressurised containers or flammable liquid can be used or stored at any railway arch.

I had a visit not long ago from a builder who had, years before, moved my gas boiler during some improvement work he'd been doing at my house. He appeared at my door in quite a panic with a carbon monoxide detector in his hand. Apparently in one of his properties one of his tenants had died in somewhat mysterious circumstances and he had been accused of murder or something similar because there was a suspicion that the tenant had died of carbon monoxide poisoning and that the boiler for which the builder was responsible was the culprit. Anyway he put the carbon monoxide detector on my ceiling and left. A few months later I was awakened in the middle of the night by a persistent beeping noise. I eventually traced the noise to the CO detector and found that my woodburning stove was burning without enough ventilation because I'd shut it down for the night by closing the vents but it had too much fuel left in it. I was extremely relieved that I had the detector, so I do recommend one. The only issue was that once it had been triggered it took ages for it to reset itself. I had to open all the windows on a cold night to get it to quieten down before I could go back to sleep.

Sorry Dermot, visited Aldi this evening but was unable to locate any monitors.

Thanks for trying! Any CO detectors?

I will drop by another branch tomorrow.

Dermot.

[Gordon Endersby]

If ypu font see them out, ask a member of staff as some of the more nickable stuff is kept out back.

Gordon

[mstclair87]

Water is flammable if you put sodium in it, but I suppose that's a bit far-fetched. No cigarette lighters? No asthmatic inhalers? No Pledge to polish our surfaces? No Coke (which is pressurised and contains dissolved carbon dioxide)? No farting? How far does this no pressurised containers ban go?

Matthew

[Dermot Jones]

Good advice Gordon, they were out back!

Dermot.

[Gordon Endersby]

Had the same when I bought the car head unit they sold. Nothing on display as they were worried theyd get nicked.

Gordon

[Dermot Jones]

Strange approach to marketing: it was £13 and there were plenty of other items at that price. Guess its desirable?

Gordon, you have first option on the extra one I bought.

Dermot.

[Gordon Endersby]

Thanks but no, got to much on at the moment.
I knew a lot of the members were interested in heart monitor tech so thought id mention it. £13 is unbelievably cheap for something like that.

Last week i stocked up on grinder and cutting discs at aldi.
