Example 2: Medicine Reminder and Vending Machine
Function: A medicine vending machine to store and give doses via medicine bottles and alert patients at prescribed times.
Electrical components involved:
- Arduino Mega 2560 (Alternatively, Arduino Nano or Uno can be used.) × 1
- Rotary Encoder with Push-Button (This will be used to provide Dose Time input to the microcontroller.) x1
- SG90 Micro-servo motor (Servo motors will be used to implement rack mechanism to drop medicine boxes. And clear the medicine rack if a patient misses a dose, so as to avoid confusion when next dose drops) x5
- DS3231 RTC Module(To keep track of time) x1
- MP3 player module and speaker(This will play audio tones stored in SD card. Alternatively, a buzzer can be used to keep cost low.) x1
- Adafruit RGB Backlight LCD - 16x2(To display upcoming medicine dose time.) x1
- LED (generic) x1
- IR sensor (To detect when a dose drops and is taken by patient to update information in SD card.) x1
-
Micro SD card module and SD card
