The software infrastructure that supports the VentMon, such as [VentDisplay](https://github.com/PubInv/vent-display) and [PIRDS](https://github.com/PubInv/PIRDS-respiration-data-standard), have improved as well.

The VentMon is basically a cloud-enabled spirometer with an FiO2 sensor. When plugged into a standard 22mm airway, the device provides
a rich stream of pressure and flow, with oxygen, humidity, and temperature sensors for continual monitoring. Engineering teams developing pandemic response ventilators and other respiration tools are the primary users of the VentMon. Additionally, it is completely and transparently open source, so any team can adopt the design and incorporate it into their own devices to provide the same data in an integrated way.

## The Serial Port

The main target for the VentMon project is to support engineers who are working on ventilators and respiration support devices. Most of these engineers will know
how to use the Arudino IDE to see the serial port. The baudrate is 500000 (500,000).
how to use the Arudino IDE to see the serial monitor. The baudrate is 500000 (500,000).
A simple human-readable output is printed to the serial port at start up time, which
shows some basic start up information. After searching for an ethernet connection and WiFi connection, the VentMon will
begin printing dynamic data on the serial port.

## Status

** October 10th **
** October 10th ??year???**

We have now shipped 20 units of the VentMons to open source teams all over the world. Some of them are
using them successfully. We ordered 15 printed circuit boards and 15 3D printed sensor ports, and I built them
