it would in essence turn the electronics of your 3d printer into the electronics of the ventilator (after printing the nessecary parts)

AT tiny 45/85 chip can be programmed with Arduino/Pi/PC and then used for youtr project

yup

Much more spreadable solution

that's why i am looking at a Marlin implementation

Arduino board is a bit of an overkill for an implementation

You want a lover level electronics there

that firmware already has all the common libraries for various different pieces of interface hardware

AT tiny costs up to 2.5$ for a piece

only thing need is a ventillator rather than 3d printer application

Arduino is like $20

yup

but AT-Tiny has fewer PWMs

You can output 20 custom boards with AT chip at a price of one arduino

And same function

isn't AT-Tiny based onf the ESP-838?

Well you only need so many modes of operation for that AT tiny chip

4 modes is enough for a ventilator

the point of such a project though would be speed of production

thus writting a control routine in marlin would make the most sense

I will contact Conrad to see if I they have chips on hand for that

because you can then load it on ANY of those platforms

Also aquarium pumps

I have an idea

just like you can load marlin on any ramps

Thank you MA

I have a Pi and an Arduino, I can make them into chip programmers, and then 3D print masks

A bit of disassembly on aquarium pump and new brains and voila- personal ventilator

You are gonna LOVE this

Aquarium pump is by far the best match for this. It is purpose made to overcome a bit of air pressure

flip through that pdf THEN think abotu what you just said

I know a pet shop that closed down a month ago, they still have some leftover stock they sell online

I will get the pumps at a huge discount

@ManAnimal Trying to win the money from that "make us a ventilator" initiative?

dude, i hit the mother load

a complete specification for hardware and software to a ventilator

@A.Fulcrum money? Just planning for when shit hits the fan and people will need to breathe
