decoding-contour-next-link

Space to collaborate on decoding Contour Next Link 2.4 comms protocols, and the piggy-backed pump comms

Getting Started

• Make sure you have the following dependencies installed:

  • python
  • pip
  • python-dev
  • libusb-1.0-0-dev
  • libudev-dev
  • liblzo2-dev

• Clone this project

• If you're running macOS (El Capitan or later), you'll need to update setuptools like this first (due to System Integrity Protection):

  $ sudo -H pip install --upgrade setuptools --user python

• Install the dependencies:

  $ sudo -H pip install cython
  $ sudo -H pip install hidapi
  $ sudo -H pip install requests astm PyCrypto crc16 python-dateutil
  $ sudo -H pip install python-lzo

• Plug in your Contour NextLink 2.4 USB stick

Now you can try the script by calling the module from the parent directory

$ python -m decoding-contour-next-link.read_minimed_next24

Known Issues

• Assumed pump time was in UTC, but this doesn't ring true for non DST times (in Melbourne, anyway)
