I’m planning to build myself an artificial pancreas! Does anyone have an old medtronic pump they are willing to donate or sell? The supported models are [here](http://openaps.readthedocs.io/en/master/docs/walkthrough/phase-0/hardware/pump.html) but if you are unsure just ask me. If anyone has thoughts on where I could look for one (aside from MedWow etc.) let me know. ---

Here is one in Orlando available right now: [https://orlando.craigslist.org/hab/6138258187.html](https://orlando.craigslist.org/hab/6138258187.html), fairly good price too. I find Craigslist to be a great place to find difficult pieces of equipment such as openAPS pumps. This is how you can search all of Craigslist – in Google, enter: site:craigslist.org minimed 523 [EDIT] Funny, I was just asking if you had looked into openAPS… ---

Thanks Michel, that’s a big help!
