  • makair

    🫁 The world's first open-source ventilator tested on human patients. Mass-producible at a low cost (~2000€).

  • You can also find the project on GitHub: https://github.com/makers-for-life/makair

  • makair-firmware

    🧠 [Software] Firmware for the MakAir microcontroller. The brain of the ventilator.

  • I'll be very happy for my industrial projects if BCM2711 come with CAN or RS485 built-in, but for the moment, there is nothing planned by Raspberry...

    A low speed 115200 baud link does the job, with applicative CRC on both side to be sure there is no corruption.

    My method to test communication robustness: I inject pulses through a capacitor directly on the UART lines. I did it on this project, no problem. The four bytes CRC32 prevents random EM noise errors.

    STM32 telemetry code is here:
