I'm volunteering for a non-profit developing a low cost clinical ventilator in response to the current Covid-19 crisis.
Without diving too far into the component selection process (mostly leaning in the direction of rapidity, ease of integration, and over-spec'ing needs for prototyping), our current functional ventilator uses the Teensy 4.0.
This is obviously not sustainable for production quantities. However, these are not ordinary times for ordinary product development cycles. With our current schedule and available volunteer expertise, we're looking at options for low risk, high confidence integration of one of the Teensy ARM controllers on our custom board.
1. Are there available resources beyond the schematics that would help us more rapidly and with high confidence spin controller boards with say the MK20DX256VLH7?
2. How unreasonable would it be to source thousands of Teensys? Tens of thousands?
Thanks for your time and I appreciate any feedback.
