Get all the tools to flash the firmware, and do it, and then update the OpenAPS install with “ mmeowlink“. I’d already bought a Slice of Radio, so it was time to add it to the Pi and see where that took me. This would be Slice of Radio time, available from .uk. Time to replace the radio connectivity to the pump with something with greater range and hopefully a little more reliability then. In addition, the range wasn’t great with the Carelink. Dana had suggested it might be a dying stick, and I didn’t really want to find out by it doing just that. I was seeing a lot of failures to connect to the pump and this was really affecting the efficiency of the system. Having made the change, I noticed throughout the logs that there was a bit of an issue with the Carelink stick.
Offline is less important than I had thought. It’s all linked to my iPhone, so my openAPS is pulling all its data from the cloud, but the reality is that in this world, I’m rarely without an internet connection, so it works okay. I’ve dropped the Medtronic glucose monitoring and switched to Dexcom G5. The first two of these were easily rectified. Updating the OpenAPS install and Raspberry Pi hardware Exceeding Azure quotas on the free option.Overlap of bluetooth signals causing timeouts between the CNL and the Transmitter, leaaving me with missing data.Poor connectivity between the 640G and the Pi, making glucose reading erratic.Taking a step back, the list of my concerns with what I had was: Prior to this, I had used the new set-up scripts to build a quickly installed Dev branch featuring Advanced Meal Assist and Sensitivity adjustment.īoth are great features, but they quickly highlighted and enhanced my concerns and added something new to solve. Since then I’ve made yet more changes and am now running a more physically consolidated, if functionally different, set-up. When I wrote about using OpenAPS last time around, I had a list of features that I was having a few issues with.
– more steps forward… Does it ever end? Not if #wearenotwaiting
