A More Manageable Way to Build Loop - Jon

A parent’s guide to simplifying DIY Loop builds using GitHub Browser Build, reducing rebuild stress, and streamlining updates for multiple caregivers.

Erdmann Family -

It looks like as of Sunday, the initial work to get the Tandem Mobi working with AAPS is done and going into testing. As of now, it'll only do basic oref0 (TBR).

They're kicking up private testing for now so it's not widely available yet.

Congrats to jwoglom and AndyRozman on Discord for their hard work! It's great to see progress!

In my adventures with Meshtastic, I acquired a Sensecap Tracker (T1000-E) that I carry with me.

In the DIY loop community of diabetes, many people use an old Medtronic insulin pump that communicates over the 915MHz band, similar to LoRa. This requires using a bridge device such as RileyLink, OrangeLink, EmmaLink, and maybe others.

I think these are all closed source though. Someone made an open source firmware called GNARL which runs on earlier LoRa hardware, though, proving this could work.

It made me realize, among all the devices these diabetics have access to for their bridge, none of them are well designed nor well suited for carrying.

But the Sensecap Tracker is.

I just wish I had the knowledge to build up a firmware for it. The core platform isn’t the same as what GNARL is built for.

Luckily #diyloop is still working, insulin is being delivered, whew. Just the remote monitoring is unhappy, maybe not able to talk to the mongodb for some reason.
uh oh, #nightscout for monitoring blood glucose and #insulin pump activity is amazing... until it stops working and it has been literally like 9 months since I set it up? #t1d #type1diabetes #diyloop
@unicornCoder oh cool! I’ve got my daughter on #diyloop. It’s been about 9 months, and so far it’s been good. I didn’t know the #OpenAPS algorithm was created by a woman!
Anyone else on here into hacking insulin pumps? Figured I might as well ask… #diyloop #type1diabetes
@detreville yikes! I’m an Omnipod user but with Dash pods and #DIYLoop or #DIYAPS. It’s crazy that an FDA-approved system would have a bug like that. 😬

A fantastic interview with Pete Schwamb about #DIYLoop and the work behind the creation of this amazing technology for people with #T1D.

@TomLarrow Yikes. It’s great the #Omnipod5 is out and I know people are benefiting from it, but I’m in no rush to switch from #DIYLoop.
