makair-simulator

🥽 [Software] Simulator of the MakAir ventilator. Integrates the makair-firmware, and simulates hardware behavior.

Versions

How To Build the simulator on Linux or Mac?

In order to setup your environment and build the code, please follow the following commands :

1. You need a toolchain able to compile c++. On ubuntu : sudo apt install build-essential
2. Clone this repo on your machine : git clone https://github.com/makers-for-life/makair-simulator --recurse-submodules
3. Go in the build directory cd makair-simulator/build
4. In the makair-firmware submodule, uncomment the line "#define SIMULATOR" in includes/config.h
5. Compile the project make
6. You get an executable called simulator in the build directory

How To Build the simulator on Windows?

In order to setup your environment and build the code, please follow the following step :

1. Install a c++ compiler. Tested on mingw64 http://mingw-w64.org/doku.php/download/mingw-builds
2. Add the /bin directory of the compiler to the PATH.
3. Install 'Make for Windows" http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm
4. Add the /bin directory of gnuwin32 to the PATH.
5. Clone this repo on your machine : git clone https://github.com/makers-for-life/makair-simulator --recurse-submodules
6. Create a new git script, using the command below. This will convert linux symlinks to windows symlinks

    git checkout -- "$symlink"
    src="${symdir}/$(cat "$symlink")"

    posix_to_dos_sed='s_^/\([A-Za-z]\)_\1:_;s_/_\\\\_g'
    doslnk=$(printf '%s\n' "$symlink" | sed "$posix_to_dos_sed")
    dossrc=$(printf '%s\n' "$src" | sed "$posix_to_dos_sed")

    if [ -f "$src" ]; then
      rm -f "$symlink"
      cmd //C mklink //H "$doslnk" "$dossrc"
    elif [ -d "$src" ]; then
      rm -f "$symlink"
      cmd //C mklink //J "$doslnk" "$dossrc"
    else
      printf 'error: git-rm-symlink: Not a valid source\n' >&2
      printf '%s =/=> %s  (%s =/=> %s)...\n' \
          "$symlink" "$src" "$doslnk" "$dossrc" >&2
      false
    fi || printf 'ESC[%d]: %d\n' "$ppid" "$?"

    git update-index --assume-unchanged "$symlink"
  done | awk '
    BEGIN { status_code = 0 }
    /^ESC\['"$ppid"'\]: / { status_code = $2 ; next }
    { print }
    END { exit status_code }
  '
}

__git_rm_symlinks
ETX
)"
git config --global alias.rm-symlink '!git rm-symlinks'  # for back-compat.

7. Execute the previous command inside the repo git rm-symlinks
8. In the build directory, replace the content of the Makefile by the content of the MakefileWindows
9. In the makair-firmware submodule, uncomment the line "#define SIMULATOR" in includes/config.h
10. In the build directory, run make

How To Run on linux or Mac?

In order to run the simulator that you just built using the instructions above, please follow the following commands:

1. Install socat. On ubuntu : sudo apt install socat
2. Create a directory to place the serial port file, for this example a directory called dev mkdir serialport
3. Create fakes serial ports with socat : socat -d -d pty,link=serialport/tty0,raw,echo=0 pty,link=serialport/tty1,raw,echo=0
4. Run the simulator, specifying the serial port (-p), the lungs resistance (-r), the compliance (-c), the spontaneousBreathRate (--spontaneousBreathRate), the spontaneousBreathEffort (--spontaneousBreathEffort), the spontaneousBreathDuration (--spontaneousBreathDuration). Example : ./simulator -p serialport/tty0 -r 10 -c 70 --spontaneousBreathRate 20 --spontaneousBreathEffort 5 --spontaneousBreathDuration 200
5. You can now run the control-ui executable on port serialport/tty1. For example: makair-control -p serialport/tty1

How To Run on Windows ?

In order to run the simulator that you just built using the instructions above, please follow the following instructions:

1. Create a fake serial port, using com0com 2.2 : https://sourceforge.net/projects/com0com/files/com0com/2.2.2.0/ . Make sure to download the signed version, otherwise Windows will insult you.
2. Install com0com using setup.exe that you have juste downloaded
3. In the install directory of com0com, run setupc.exe . It will open a specific command prompt
4. In the command com0com prompt, create a pair of "fake" serial ports : install PortName=CNCA0 PortName=CNCB0
5. In the command com0com prompt, set the baudrate emulation to yes : change CNCA0 EmuBR=yes
6. Run the simulator, specifying the serial port (-p), the lungs resistance (-r), and the compliance (-c) : simulator.exe -p \\.\CNCA0 10 -c 70. As in this example, make sure to have \\.\ before the name of the serial port.
7. You can now run the control-ui executable on port CNCB0. For example: makair-control.exe -p CNCB0. For some unknown reason, the \\.\ prefix is not required for the port name here.

Easy way to Run the Simulator and the UI (linux only)

You might want to run the simulator in background, with a control UI. You could just use the install-libs.sh and the install_simulator.shbash scripts located in the utils directory of this repo.

install-libs.sh script will install the requiered libs

install_simulator.sh script will clone, build and run this repo AND the control-ui repo
