Hi I need help with a school project that my teacher cant help me with!
I wish to make an auto pill tray. Its a bit like one of those auto cat feeders.
imagine a bowl split into 7 segments
imagine the bowl rotates 1/7th of a complete rotation, once per day
imagine the bowl rotating below a fixed cover that has an opening the size and shape of one of the segments
Thats my project!
i am thinking about a stepper motor to drive the bowl a precise amount of degrees (1/7th of a circle) I think I need a motor driver / controller too. I'd like to have a buzzer to sound when its time to take the pills that needs to be switched off by the person when they have taken the pills.
So basically, for example at 8 AM the bowl rotates into place and a buzzer sounds until a person hits the reset button. 24 hours later the cycle repeats.
BUT, i dont know what to buy and how to connect it together.
Can you please help / tell me what to buy and join up?
Thanks
