Will OSCAR ever Support the BMC G2S A20?
Hi.
I have a BMC G2S A20 and see that it does not support OSCAR. Will this machine ever be supported? I have already tried several times to get my doctor to order a unit on the OSCAR compatibility list but it has not happened and my insurance says I need to work with the doctor. I wish I had the funds to just purchase a Airsense or something.

Are you volunteering to develop it?
It helps a great deal to have the device you are trying to incorporate.

Oh yes I would be willing to do what I can. I do not have any formal programming experience but I have compiled a few apps from source code over the years.

You would be surprised of how many of the programs available today were born out of a necessity by an individual like yourself. Here are my suggestions to get you started.
- Study your CPAP's data format.
- You probably will need a free hex editor and probably an edf browser. Most raw data files are in a binary format.
- Download the free version of Qt (pronounced, "cute") at Qt.io. I believe Version 5.15(ish) is what is currently being used. The newer version 6 may cause compile problems and add to frustration while you are learning.
- Download the OSCAR source code and study how it is constructed. You can't do much without the source code... [OSCAR Source Code Download Link]
- Look particularly at the loader apps for other brands of CPAPs. This should provide an insight of the commonality of their code.
I'm sure I missed some steps. Hopefully, someone will add to this list.
Good luck!
