Software and Coding Libraries

As mentioned, all Infineon Maker shields are Arduino Uno, Raspberry Pi or Infineon2Go layout compatible. Usually, the shields come with a library to allow its users to utilize the Arduino IDE that they are familiar with.

Arduino IDE and Platform.io

These libraries are open source, and they can be installed directly in the Arduino IDE (or into the even more convenient Platform.io extension in Microsoft’s VSCode Editor). Learn more about the basics of programming languages and coding libraries at maker.pro.

Github

There are also expansive resources available for makers on GitHub where Infineon details their supported boards and various wikis for supported boards.

Development environment

In addition, Infineon offers modern software development environments based on Eclipse for a more professional work-flow. DAVE™ for XMC™-powered development boards and ModusToolbox™ for Infineon’s wireless controller portfolio. “Let‘s get started” projects are available for a variety of use cases to unleash the potential of the embedded connected world in your projects.

Raspberry Pi offerings

Besides the Arduino, the Raspberry Pi is another incredibly popular and successful platform amongst Makers, students, hobbyists, and electronics enthusiasts. To enable users of the Raspberry Pi platform to utilize the powerful boards of the Shield2Go portfolio, Infineon introduced the Shield2Go adapter for the Raspberry Pi. It helps accelerate the devel-opment of an IoT system and enables engineers to use a platform they know with various innovative, capable, and powerful sensor boards and shields made by Infineon. The Shield2Go adapter enables its users to connect up to three Shield2Go sensors or security ICs to the Raspberry Pi without the need for complicated wiring.

Along with the possibility to use all the Shield2Go expansion boards, Infineon also offers HATs specifically made for the 40-pin Raspberry Pi models. One of them is the MERUS audio amplifier HAT, which is the world’s first 100 % self-contained audio amplification HAT for the Raspberry Pi offering HD audio at boombox power levels. It’s equipped with an MA12070P class D multilevel amplifier, and it can provide up to 40 W peak power from the official Raspberry Pi power supply and up to 48kHz/24bit music playback. It’s compatible with the most popular audio streaming applications for the Raspberry Pi, and it can, furthermore, also be used in Raspbian as an Airplay client or as a Bluetooth audio receiver.

GUI

To further ease the evaluation process of many 2GO kits, Infineon provides simple to use graphical user interfaces. These small programs, like the graphical user interface (GUI) for Angle Sensor 2GO or the GUI for 3D Magnetic Sensor 2GO, allow a user to plug a supported 2GO kit into any Windows computer with the GUI installed and quickly evaluate the functionality of the device without having to write any code.

MakeRadarWith the Sense2GoL development board, the testing and evaluation process is even more simplified and straight- forward, as it can all be done using any computer with a web browser. This approach assists beginners when they’re just getting started by providing them with an interesting experimenting and learning experience. All there is to do is to plug a supported development board into a computer and visit the #MakeRadar Plug & play experience website. The website welcomes the user with engaging experiments and interesting facts and explanations of how the technology works, making the Sense2GoL and the #MakeRadar website a great resource for experimenting and learning.

Example use cases and interesting DIY projects

With all the interesting modules, shields, and kits that Infineon has to offer for Makers and professionals likewise, the possibilities of what can be done with these products are nearly endless.

Just because a project is fun, doesn’t mean that it can’t be practical, as the first example shows. With the help of a camera, a Raspberry Pi, an XMC1100 Boot kit, and the DC Motor Control Shield with BTN8982TA, almost any RC car can be turned into an autonomous driving vehicle. The donkeycar projects allows the Raspberry Pi to write image-, throttle-, and steering information to its SD card. This data will be used to train a neural network, which will then be placed on the Raspberry Pi to allow the car to drive autonomously. The XMC1100 Boot kit is responsible for controlling the DC motor and the steering servo. The Arduino compatible XMC1100 Boot kit will emu-late the PWM shield that’s used in the official donkey-car project. The source code and a detailed assembly guide can be found on the project page.

The next project will bring back some of the most iconic classics of gaming history. In this project, magnetic sensors are used for the joystick and buttons of a Raspberry-Pi powered mini retro gaming station. For that purpose, the cabinet is equipped with two XENSIV™ Hall Switch Shield2Go TLE4964-3M that read the buttons, and a magnetic 3D Hall Shield2Go board that’s responsible for determining the joystick position. The 2GO modules interface the Raspberry Pi via the Shield2Go Adapter for Raspberry Pi, and the sound is coming from two speakers, which are driven by a 40W MERUS audio amplification HAT. Instruction on how to build this project can be found here.

The final example shows a useful real-world scenario. It uses a 24 GHz radar sensor to detect the speed of a moving object. The sensor can completely be covered by the front panel, which allows it to be useful in many other applications ranging from security monitoring to smart-home products. Besides that, two seven segment displays show the current speed of the monitored object, and the entire device is controlled by an XMC1100 in the form of an XMC2Go evaluation board. The complete project can be found on this page.

OpenVent Open-source 3D Printable Ventilator

How does it work?

An Ambu bag is used as pressure reservoir. It already features an O2 inlet (O2 concentration is crucial for patients with acute respiratory syndrome) and several safety features including e.g. overpressure and bypass valves. Being standard for emergency help, these bags are available in substantial volumes. A motorized and microcontroller+sensor controlled setup squeezes the bag at the right pattern, supporting assist-, pressure-, volume- and flow-control ventilation and exhaled gas measurements and filters. Additionally provided design files for 3D-printed adapters and valves also help to fill gaps in ‘accessory’ supply with professional equipment (ensuring, that all available equipment can always be used) and/or help to

During the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, it became obvious that a lack of medical equipment can cause a severe impact. Even simple equipment and designs can often be helpful when no professional equipment is available.

This project describes an open-source ventilator device. The main purpose of this project is to generate ventilator design files and documentation for situations, when no professional and medical equipment can be obtained. Easy-to-assemble and readily available components are used with a clear focus on simplicity, availability and scalability. This means that local and short-noticeproduction is enabled wherever needed around the globe.

The material and documentation described here are provided as open-source with no warranties explicit or implied. No material is intended to provide medical advice. All designs are intended for investigational use only. This article does not represent any official policies or procedures. The project is provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and noninfringement. In no event shall the authors or copyright holders be liable for any claim, damages or other liability, whether in an action of contract, tort or otherwise, arising from, out of or in connection with the software or the use or other dealings in the software. Only use this design, documentation or any provided information if you accept the above disclaimer.

reduce the infection risk of medical personnel (e.g. filters and UV lighting applied to exhaled air) and/or enable the best use of professional equipment for critical cases (e.g. switch patient on recovery track to lower-requirements open-source ventilator). All of this is based on open-source and commonly accessible parts; especially for the mechanics the objective is to be scalable in production and hence fully 3D-printable. The only things not printed are the motor and its screws as well as the belt. BLDC motors are proposed. Stepper motors such as NEMA 23 are another design-in option. Design findings and results are openly shared as part of the open source, so other teams can easily also build upon it.

› Alveoli: These are located at the tip and the walls of the respiratory airways. The group of alveoli form an acinus, which in turn forms the sponge-like consistency of the lung. Each alveolus is surrounded by blood vessels. The common wall between the alveolus and the blood capillaries offers the medium for oxygen and carbon dioxide to be exchanged. Why is this important? Diseases like COVID-19 lead to SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) or ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome) via inflammation in the lung. This means that water starts building up in the alveoli, thus reducing or preventing the perfusion of the lung. This is a critical stage, where patients will need to be put on assisted/mechanical ventilation. Physicians will use different methods to keep the alveoli open, recruit the collapsed ones and bring the inflation down, all while avoiding further damage to the alveolar wall.

› Conductive airways: The main role of the conductive airways is to transport the bulk of air from and into the lung. No gas exchange (perfusion) takes place in the conductive airways. This is why conductive airways are also called dead space. This is important because, mechanically, conductive airways are responsible for the resistance to the flow, thus protecting the lung from high flow rates during inflation and from collapsing during deflation.

› Respiratory airways: These airways differ from the conductive airways by containing alveoli on their walls. Perfusion starts taking place at the respiratory airways. The air at this level is transported via diffusion rather than conduction. Why is this important? During respiration, the air needs to sit long enough in the lung for oxygen to diffuse from the tips of the conductive airways into the respiratory airways. The same applies for carbon dioxide to diffuse from the respiratory airways into the conductive airways. This determines the criteria for picking the ventilation periods for inhaling and exhaling.

The human lung

The human lung is a complex organ responsible for gas exchange between the body and the environment. The lung is mainly composed of two types of airways (conductive and respiratory airways), alveoli, and blood vessels.

Mechanical ventilators

A mechanical ventilator is a medical device used to assist or replace spontaneous breathing.

Mechanical Ventilator FunctionalitiesIn the following section we list the main functionalities of a mechanical ventilator. We also aim to translate these functionalities into design requirements. Our aim in this work is to address the crucial need for supporting the high demand for mechanical ventilators during times of crisis. The following functionalities aim to support the physicians with the right tools to treat patients suffering from SARS & ARDS:

Tidal Volume: Is the volume of ventilated air at each respiratory cycle. An average adult at rest would need anywhere between 500 to 800 ml of tidal volume each respiratory cycle to properly ventilate the lung. From requirements point of view, this means the ventilator needs to: › pump up to 800 ml of air › control the pumped volume › monitor and report if the pumped volume exceeded or dropped below the critical tidal volume

10Technical articles

If necessary, the medical personal will adjust the pressure level to increase or lower the volume/min. Also the ratio of pressure to volume/min is an indi-cation of the human lung’s health.

Pressure: The pressure produced by the lung ventilators is responsible for driving the air into the lung and controlling the rate of exhalation of the lung. From a requirements point of view, this means ventilators need to: › control the pumping pressure › monitor and report if the pressure exceeds critical levels, to protect the lung from VALI (Ventilator-Associated Lung Injury) › control the PEEP (Peak End Expiratory Pressure), which protects alveoli from collapsing

Fraction of Inspired Oxygen (FIO2): To protect the lung from VALI, the physicians could choose to ventilate the lung with lower tidal volume but higher oxygen content. For that, the ventilator is connected to an oxygen intake. From a requirements point of view:The ventilator needs to control the mixture of oxygen and air, which will be ventilated into the lung and monitor the concentration of oxygen in the pumped gas. This value is used to adjust the FIO2 and to compare it with the oxygen level in the blood. This in turn is an important indicator of oxygen transfusion.

Expired Carbon Dioxide: Carbon dioxide is toxic for humans. The concentration of the expired CO2 is an indicator of whether the patient’s lung is being well perfused and ventilated. Physicians track CO2, for example, to know if the patient is still alive. From the requirements point of view, this means: › Monitor and report the CO2 concentration of exhaled air

Ventilation modes

In interviews with medical personnel, we noticed that in most cases of intensive care, the pressure control is the mode chosen. That is why we will focus on this method in the following prototype. A control loop will keep the pressure level at a preset value. A certain volume (l/min) will arise.

Mechanics

All mechanical parts are either standard parts (such as screws) or 3D printed parts. The files can be found here. The belt is made of tape which is simply folded and therefore has no outward-facing sticky surfaces. ((pls. check/confirm))

Closed loop motor control

In pressure-controlled mode, there can be slow speeds even up to 0 with still need to hold the pressure in the lung. To maintain a high torque at lower speeds, we decided to build a sensor-based closed loop motor control setup. The rotor position is detected by a TLE5012B magnetic angle sensor. This way you can set the half bridges of the IFX007 power stage in the right way to create the needed magnetic field to move or hold the rotor. We also use this sensor to detect upper and lower endpoints so we don’t turn the motor too far.

Flow and pressure sensing setupTubes

Pressure and flowmeter

In our pressure and flowmeter setup, we use two DPS368 S2GO boards. The DPS368 (digital pressure sensor) is waterproof and can monitor pressure levels as accurate as 6Pa. We placed the two sensors along a tube setup. This way we can calculate the flow according to the pressure drop (loss) across the tube. We tested 4 mm / 6 mm / 8 mm tubes with a length of 80 mm between the sensor outlets. The 8 mm one shows the best result in terms of sensing accuracy and lowest pressure drop. In addition, we can use one of the pressure values directly for our pressure control loop.

Blockchain in a nutshellBasically, a blockchain is a decentralized digital ledger that manages a continuously growing list of data points (chain of blocks). Every block is cryptographically linked to the previous block. The ledger records all transactions which are used to send assets (e.g. crypto currency) from one account to another. Each transaction is protected by a digital signature. To create such a digital signature, a secret private key that corresponds to the public key of an account is needed.

Why is security so important for blockchain applications?The private key of a user plays a critical role. If the private key is lost, all assets are lost. Moreover, if the private key is stolen and hacked, the attacker has full access to all assets, which allows the creation of seemingly valid transactions.

Private key storage requires the best possible protection!Hardware-based security tokens are the most effective defense against attacks and unauthorized access.
