This past week I have been working on code for the pill dispensing. I worked with MM to get the Bluetooth connection between the Raspberry Pi and the web app working and after that, I have been working on getting the web app to send the dispense signal to the servo motors to move the discs. This has been a little challenging since the Raspberry Pi 5 does not use the same GPIO hardware as older models and there is little documentation out there for the RPi 5, but I have gotten the servos to work locally where I send a signal from the RPi and the next step would be to use the Bluetooth to dispense. Next week I will be working on assembling the device by mounting the servos to the 3D printed components.
