My very first ugly working prototype (with a 3D printed PCB)
I posted an ugly copper-tape prototype on r/esp32 and a few hundred of you showed up asking for the STL. So here it is, plus the why and how: no soldering, no PCB fab, just a 3D printed baseplate, copper foil tape, and pogo pins. And yes, I'll tell you what the two ESP32s were actually for.
Automatic Wellue O2 ring sync is back
A while back I switched off the O2 ring side of the Mule and Miner so the nightly CPAP sync could get rock solid. It's back on now, as of firmware 4.1.1, and this time it holds: your CPAP and your Wellue O2 ring get read at the same time, all night, onto one dashboard.
If you use SleepHQ, CpapDash is for you too
CpapDash and SleepHQ aren't an either/or. CpapDash is a free second lens on the same nights, and it forwards your data to SleepHQ automatically, even for machines it can't chart yet.
Mule & Miner + OSCAR = best buds
How does OSCAR get fed through the Mule & Miner? Two ways, and the easy one takes your phone and nothing else. Plus it works for any machine, not just ResMed or Lowenstein.
We support uploading to SleepHQ now
SleepHQ is where a lot of you already track your therapy. Now CpapDash can forward every finished night to it automatically, so your data is waiting for you in the morning. Here's how to switch it on.
How to Manually Update Your Mule & Miner Over USB
Almost always your device updates itself. For the rare time it can't, here is the simple way to update the Mule and Miner yourself over USB, right from your browser, in a couple of minutes. Nothing to install, and you can't break anything.
What if you just want your data in OSCAR?
I built a whole ecosystem so I'd never have to open OSCAR again. But if sitting at your PC with your own raw data is your thing, no judgment. Here's how to keep OSCAR fed automatically.
Reading your night: a tour of the CpapDash dashboard
AHI is one number. Your night is thousands. Here's how to actually read what your body did while you slept (pressure, leak, events, breathing, oxygen, and now an AI summary of every night) without a sleep-medicine degree.
What is CpapDash, and why does it exist at all?
Oscar, SleepHQ, MyAir, a dozen mobile apps, so why build another one? The honest answer is that I built it for myself first: to get every bit of my own ResMed data out automatically, locally, and as fast as the machine writes it. Here's the whole story.
So you bought the Mule & Miner. What now?
First of all, congrats, and thanks for trusting my build. Here's what these two little boards actually do, how to set them up in a couple of minutes (the bridge walks you through it), and the one job that's left for you. (It's sleeping.)
Going full AI: the Pro tier
The free dashboard shows you everything. Pro reads it back to you: a plain-English summary of your week, anomaly flags before you'd notice them, and alerts when therapy drifts. Here's what's under the hood.
