Project description
Code
WoundVARduino
arduino
1. You may need to adjust the offset by writing a serial print function with your board attached to the computer. 2. You may need to attach a column of water to the system to measure and adjust the pressure conversion formula. Depending on your sensor you may need to change the 7.50062 number.

Collection Canister
This is the collection canister. It can be easily emptied and reused by a patient at home. One tube goes to the sensor, one to the pump, and the last tube connects to the patient's wound dressing
