Re: Arduino Alternatives
Yes, I've been looking at O2 concentrators. An interesting challenge to design a ventilator that can work from a gas supply of only a couple pounds of pressure.

Re: Arduino Alternatives
Agree Tom. Oxygen supply will be critical. There are channels on Helpful that are looking at concentrators etc too.

Re: Arduino Alternatives
I'll check that out. I learned a terrific amount about ventilators from this group, Gordon's work along with the rest. And reading the many resources pointed out, including yours. Just to check what I

Re: Arduino Alternatives
Hey folk, for those still with energy I think you'll all find lots of kindred spirits in the very active Slack run by volunteers at https://www.helpfulengineering.org/ There are a variety of channels

Re: Arduino Alternatives
Where I started to run into problems was with the various GUI libraries, the Adafruit GFX libraries and individual TFT drivers. (One was the Adafruit GFX library upgrading to allow non-square pixels,

Re: System cost vs LCD #pcbdesign
I was surprised recently when I was designing a little remote monitor and thought it would be nice for it to have a local display on the device. Originally I thought a 7 segment display like what

Re: System cost vs LCD #pcbdesign
Sorry...Steve and others.... I was discussing lack of LCD displays over on the QRP-Labs group and absent mindedly posted a comment on LCD availability to the Ventilator Discussion group. Answer is

Re: System cost vs LCD #pcbdesign
There are lots of 1602 style LCD displays available via Ebay. If I understand correctly, the problem is that QRP-Labs supplier did not or could not supply the correct ones in adequate numbers for
