Hello Everyone,
As most people are aware, there is a world wide shortage of Mechanical ventilators.
There are a lot of hobbyists working on this idea to produce quickly to market.
[e-vent.mit.edu]
My idea is to use the RepRamps control board for the control circuit of the Ventilator.
The reason is as followed.
1. It is a well tested circuit
2. Easily available
3.Affordable
4.multiple driver circuits, whereby it is easily adaptable to suit which motor is available, whereby ideally 1 motor would be used but if the motor supplies insufficient torque 2 or more could run in tandem.
5. When this pandemic ends, the Mechanical Ventilator could be turned into a 3D printer or something else - re-purpose - to lower E-Waste.
I would like it fully open source, everyone can see the code progressing and can make changes, that we can bring this idea to everyone as quick as possible to help prevent unnecessary deaths.
Any help would be great.
