Drug dispenser

thingiverse

As I age, medication becomes a regular part of my daily routine, but remembering to take it is often a challenge, prompting me to create an Arduino-controlled pill dispenser that drops a pill every morning when I start programming. This project has consumed considerable time and effort, yet it's far from complete, which is why I'm labeling this version 0.1 for now. One problem already apparent is the potential for pills to spill onto the table and roll away on the floor, but I'll address that issue in the next iteration. The possibility of adding an eighth day without pill dispensing also merits consideration. Regardless, my hope is that others will build upon this idea and create a more refined version. I centered my design around this servo: http://a.co/dvQ1yJj. A Photon Arduino chip from my closet seems like the ideal choice for this project, as it can fit neatly at the bottom of the unit. Speaking of which, I still need to craft the bottom plate and possibly adjust the hole size to accommodate a standard-sized PCB board.
