Portable syringe pump with feedback fuction
Syringe pump is a device that can control the flow rate of a syringe. The availablernsyringe pump is expensive. There is an open source syringe pump, but it is lack ofrnfeedback. This research is to make a cheap alternative of the commercially availablernsyringe pump using an open source software and hardware, but in this research therndesign is modified to have a feedback system that have three sensors, such as ForcernSensing Resistor (FSR), linear potentiometer (Soft Pot), and rotary encoder. Thernsyringe pump uses a stepper motor and an Arduino Mega 2560 for the controller whilernthe system is powered up by a series Battery Management System (BMS). There is multiple testing and measurement for each of the sensor and the flow rate of the syringe pump at the end. The conclusion is that the syringe pump is a precise and accurate device that was made using open source, the Arduino could control the syringe and all of the sensors can be used to detect the flow rate. The settings of the flow rate have been adjusted to have around 5% error rate; it goes lower as the flow rate goes higher.
