Nice to see sharing of this. I hope the providers of parts would also help.
Also, I was just checking on the progress of the similar projects, looks like some workshop or some organization in turkey did pretty good prototype. Unfortunately i can’t more info just this tweet and short video clip.
I got on here to ask about an issue with a purchased component form my little project.
That I see what you are dong with your time, I will ask some other day when this is behind us.
I used to work for MedTronic, I am proud of them and you for all that you are doing.
Thanks you for all that you are doing to jump in and do what is needed.
God bless you all,
Stay SAFE,
respectfully,
Kevin
