As a former college student ( electrical engineering ) I can offer you
this advice..
"re-invent the wheel"..

I think a blood pressure cuff that WORKED, and is ACCURATE ( to some
EXTENT ) would take it.

You are STUDENTS.. You are LEARNING.

I'm NOT a STUDENT and NEW to basic stamps. about a month now and I AM
NOT A PROGRAMMER.. [noparse]:)[/noparse]
But a TV broadcast engineer for 17 years. (Just built a new state of
the art all DIGITAL standard definition and HIGH definition plant from
the ground up!!)

From the (EXTENSIVE READING ) I have done on these remarkable devices,
you could
produce a blood pressure cuff controlling a few valves, pumps and
metering. If it is anywhere NEAR some device produced commercially, I
think
you would have an A...

Been there, done that.. ( reproduced an elevator control system in
college.. ).. Don't invent something new in school..

Save that for LATER years when SOMEONE PAYS you..
