medicine sorter

Project Ideation

1- Tell us about the idea of your project. Why do you care about this? What were you inspired by? Include images and videos of similar projects

this is a similar idea for pill sorter

My project is a sorter for medicine . I thought it would be very important tool for hospitals and health care centers also at home .

I was inspired by my dearest friend "soad shahin" she always forgets to take her medicine and I thought it would be nice if I find solution to her problems.

Project Construction

2- Explain the CAD process of your project. How did you use the software to design your project? (List the softwares/tools/materials...etc that you used)

software

fusion360

a software from Autodesk group which used for CAD

materials

ultrasonic grabcad.com/library/ultrasonic-sensor-hc-sr04-4

LCDgrabcad.com/library/lcd-display-16x2-2

LEDgrabcad.com/library/tht-led-2

switchgrabcad.com/library/switch-i-0-ii-1

uno grabcad.com/library/arduino-117

breadboard grabcad.com/library/breadboard-19

ALL from GRABCADF

I started with the base 25*15 cm with t slots (3*20mm)

then the 2 sides (10*15cm)

back (10*25)

3 sides

front

final

3- Explain the fabrication process of your project. How did you use the machine to fabricate your project? (List the softwares/tools/materials...etc that you used)

Project Electronics & Power Management

5- What is your power source? How did you select the suitable power source for your project? (List the softwares/tools/components...etc that you used)

Electronic componenets

buzzer (output)
ultrasonic sensor(input)
2.1 volt LED (3)(output)
RTC (Real time module)
switch (input)

Electric circuit

5 v adaptor

my power source of the whole circuit was 5 volt adapter as I use low voltage components .

Project Programming

6- Describe the code of your project. How did you program each function of the project?

when the right time in code comes the led of the right division on

when somebody is near by the box the buzzer works

I downloaded the library of RTC and modified the time

made if condition to control leds

then programed the ultrasonic to send signals to the buzzer when it's working or the distance <50

Project Integration & Testing

7- Demonstrate with text and visuals how did you integrate the project’s modules together? What are the testing results? (Include a Demo video separately, showing a proof of functionality)

DEMO.mp4

when the time of medicine comes the LED of the right division on and when anyone is close to the sorter the buzzer work for safety

the project functions monitored with serial monitor

integration

I put the sides of the sorter

I put the components together

then I finished the box

Sharing & Collaboration

8- Did you ask for feedback? What are the ideas that others have contributed or suggested? What was someone else’s idea that you built upon? How did you help your peers? How did your peers help you?

my instructor suggested a better idea for the design of the sorter . at the beginning I imagined it in specific way but taking his advice made the design easier .

my friend marium was nice when she offer to take part of her slot to finish my work and appreciate that because I live in tanta and it was hart to visit the lab again .

Overcoming Challenges

9- When you got stuck, what/who did you turn to? At what point did you have to pause to research or learn more before moving on? What are some mistakes, pitfalls, or challenges that others can avoid if they were doing this project?

I stuck in the design and ahmed abdelnaser helped me although we didn't have enough time and I had some issues when the product came out and solved it with sand paper .

Future Work

10- If you had more time, what is one thing you would change/ Do next in your project?

I would use servo motor to open the box
