Hi everyone,
First post! I have a crucial decision to take regarding the design of an embedded computer. The system itself is a portable medical device used in pneumology. At this time, there is already a fully functionnal prototype. However, for the next versions, the embedded computer must be changed and re-designed.
The beast: A Rabbitcore RCM3900 (http://www.rabbit.com/products/rcm3900/)
The system integrates:
- Oxygen valve, RS-232
- O2 sensor, RS-232
- EtCO2 sensor, RS-232 or TTL
- LCD screen, 20x4 char
- SDCard Interface
- USB and Bluetooth interface (communication with an extern computer)
The principal contraints regarding the conception/choice of an embedded computer:
- Low power consumption (it's a portable device)
- Acceptable design complexity (hardware and software)
I don't have a very long experience in electronic design, and I really need help on this one! Your ideas would be very appreciated!
Jonathan
