Yeah, that would work as well - once I know it works. The unit I bought actually has an RS232 interface Vs USB - I'm hoping they also supply interfacing documentation as well. I've got a 12/5 volt power supply That was meant to power external 5 1/4" drives - so I'll use that to power the pi, and any other devices. What is nice, is I should be able to remove the batteries from the device as well, and power the BP machine With that power supply. As time goes on, I'm looking to interface in a Pulse Ox reader as well. And I'm Trying to design a medication administration device. Hooked together will import the SPO2 , HR and BP and If acceptable - deliver a medication, otherwise, send an email out. Seems like a nice project for a pi.
The hardest part is trying to figure a way to dispense different shaped pills without having to have Some different dispenser for each sized/shape pill. If I use a circular type dispenser, it becomes difficult To store more than a weeks worth of pills (of the same type) in the circular dispenser. Some pills can be 2-3mm and circular in size, others could be 2cm and oblong. I've seen med delivery devices, but none that had any smarts as to not deliver. Should be nice project to learn using the pi and controlling things, as well have something functional That is needed when I'm done. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Robert Porter Sent: Friday, May 03, 2013 12:29 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] [way ot] - Electronic Button Purshers? Is it a momentary switch? If so wire it in parallel. Either button or RPi could then fire it. _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list [email protected] http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
