1. Intro - matei-tm/e-vent GitHub Wiki

A few years ago, I promised myself that every year I would contribute to an open source project. This year the choice was not difficult. It’s not hard to imagine that the project I chose is one that has to do with the word that changed everyone’s lives: COVID. In short, together with my friend Bogdan Abaza I chose to build an emergency ventilator based on the MIT project https://emergency-vent.mit.edu/ .

Our goal was, from the very beginning, to create a version based mostly on components that can be purchased on the Romanian market. In the end, investing two weeks of vacation and less than 1000 Euros, a superb mix came out with:

  • Arduino Mega 2560 link
  • metal laser cutting
  • 3D printing
  • custom PCB link
  • Motor Gobilda link
  • BasicMicro motor driver link
  • differential pressure sensor Amphenol NovaSensor NPA-730 link
  • Intersurgical Bag-Valve-Mask (BVM) resuscitators link
  • ITEM profiles link
  • Brico Depot hardware components link
  • Electronic parts purchased from Conex Electronic link
  • IKEA box link
  • C++ code link
