These instructions are for configuring the Equil insulin pump.
:depth: 1
:local: true
- Tubeless patch pump that communicates with AAPS over your phone's native Bluetooth, without an additional communication device.
- DST and timezone changes must be handled manually.
-
Compatible Equil hardware
Currently Equil 5.3 and 5.4 is supported
-
Version 3.3.0.0 or newer of AAPS
Open the menu (☰) in the top-left corner, choose Configuration, and under Pump switch to Equil 5.3.
:class: note
The patch itself refuses any basal rate above a maximum that **AAPS** programs into it. **AAPS** takes the higher of your **max basal** [preference](../SettingUpAaps/Preferences.md) and the highest hourly basal rate in your **Profile**, so the patch always accepts your profile and the temp basals the loop asks for.
If you raise your **max basal**, the new value is sent to the patch the next time you do a profile switch or reconnect the pump. There is nothing to set on the patch itself.
Navigate to the Equil Tab and press Pair Equil Patch Pump.
If you set different password than default 0000 (recommended for your safety), do not forget to store this password on a safe place. This password is stored to the pump. Then this password is asked on every next pairing attempt until you do proper unpairing in AAPS. This makes the pump also unusable with original PDA until you unpair pump from AAPS.
Development of the Equil driver is done by the community on a volunteer basis. Before requesting help, please:
- Read the relevant section of this documentation to confirm how the feature is meant to work.
- Ask on the #AAPS channel on Discord, or in one of the other community channels.
- Report a bug by searching the existing issues; if yours is not listed, open a new issue and attach your log files.
When asking for help, include your phone make and model, Android version, AAPS version, and a plain-English description of the problem (what changed, when it last worked).
