No cables at all (and no infusion set cord if you use an Omnipod pump!)
I myself use Loop. It's an iOS app that uses a RF-to-BT bridge to talk with the pump and intercepts the CGM reading from the official Dexcom app (there are forks that support different methods, being the Dexcom source the "official" one). The bridge is the size of a 9V battery, I never stopped to see which processor uses but it's probably 8 bit.
Each system support different pumps, sometimes people want to use one but are stuck with a different one to be able to use their pumps.
I've been using Loop for a few weeks now and the improvements in quality of life are so huge that any concerns I had about safety went away. Reading the docs, which are a great example on how documentation should be written, helped a lot with that too.
I like OpenSCAD a lot, but being productive there outside of very simple (squarish) designs is hard.
When people sleep over I teach them how to use it and I do something like a show and tell at job from time to time so new people know about it.
