Team Status Report 2/22/2025

This week we have made progress on finalizing hardware components and design for the device. Last week we were working on the CAD models for the components of our device we were going to 3D print, the compartments, and the disc. We have 3D printed one of each and we will go in on Sunday or Monday to pick them up and make sure they fit the amount of pills we need and are also compatible in size with the servo motors. Once we confirm that we will 3D print the rest of the models. The 3D printing was done by FabLab in TechSpark and should be well within the remainder of our budget. We have mostly been working on the design report that is due next Friday and going into thorough detail with our design based on questions and feedback we received during the presentation. All the hardware components we ordered have arrived and this week we are ready to start building the device. We will also simultaneously be working on the software components, particularly the database for tracking the pills in our compartment. In the last week, the basic app configuration and style were completed so now we will start working on the pill tracking database. Our schedule accounts for Taylor’s absence due to her surgery but she has been able to contribute a lot as she recovers. We are currently on track with our schedule.
