Hi everyone! I have been using Loop for a while now, but trying to re-set it up on my new Mac. On step 1 to install Homebrew I'm getting the following error pop up "Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
Any ideas on how to fix this?
In terms of comm reability with RileyLink, would 522 with 2.4 FW be better 522 with 2.3?
@deedeemo_jr_twitter firmware differences won’t be noticeable on use, but models do have some differences. https://loopkit.github.io/loopdocs/setup/requirements/pump/#pump-differences
(Note, I am talking about a sugar surfing style bolus to help with meals as opposed to openaps smb style microboluses/smb)
I’ve done this manually at times by adding a couple hours of basal to my bolus up front. Loop just backs off as it should to counter the extra iob and it works quite well.
@deedeemo_jr_twitter Sugru would be solid enough - it is moldable when it's first out of the package, but it cures pretty solid after 24 hours. The question is whether or not there is enough left of the rest of the pump support structure to attach it to firmly. Here are my photos of repairing the battery compartment on my pump with Sugru. If you don't have a Facebook account, let me know and I can get the photos to you another way.
Here's a different angle where you can see the threads molded into the Sugru:
To get that molded effect, I took out the battery cap, coated the threads with a light coat of petroleum jelly, put it back in, then molded the Sugru onto it. That allows you to get the right shape without having the Sugru bond to the cap. You could do the same thing with a reservoir.
for those not on twitter; this is worth mentioning; https://twitter.com/PancreasInGame/status/1058100462329548800
I guess the cat is out of the bag!
And if you want to stay informed of things, you can now sign up for Tidepool Loop updates here: tidepool.org/loop
One of the objectives of FDA is to make sure devices do no harm. How would that requirement fit with having a device not physically attached to your body, like the iphone? There may be situtations were the phone is out of range. I know that the pump will fallback to its pre-defined basals ofcourse.
@drmartinezs there isn’t an official branch with those things merged together. The IRC and watch features are still awaiting merge into dev branch separately. Most of us have merged them ourselves. You can look in the Loop’s github for PRs and find where the branches are for each of those.
I have a fork with Watch face and IRC here: https://github.com/elnjensen/Loop/releases/tag/v0.3w-irc
Same with me. I found that 1800 (or 100 for mmol) rule to be too “light” for me on Loop. As mentioned before I was 1.7 with around 55 units per day which was bang in pre loop. After loop I am now 2.5 mmol to be correct which would equal only 40 units a day. I am anywhere from 60-100 units now.
