Description

Complete open source project with cheap and easily available parts. All 3d printable parts are available, Gerber PCB are packed in zip for easy drag-drop in your prefered provider (JCLPCB, PCBWay, etc). Software are available in pre-compiled (bin files) for the ESP32, or all Arduino files are there so you can edit them. I've included all the library I used. The full LCD interface is in Squareline Studio. Just follow the guides in order to assemble it once you have all the parts.

Go see my github for all the files and guides needed

Features:
USB Powered (5V, 500mah)
Wifi configuration directly on the screen
NPT automaticaly updated time (Need Wifi for the time to work)
UTC/DST configurable on the screen
Time/Date screensaver (can be disabled)
Full interface on the touch screen
Multiples users can be defined by colors
Audio/Visual Alarms for each tray/users (audio alarms are repeated every minute till dispensed)
Alarms are mp3 files on the SD card (so can be changed by the user)
Can stack up to 10 trays
30 sections (can accomodate multiple/large pills) for each tray
Manual dispense of each tray
Visual indication of remaining pills (P-Touch label 30 to E)
Web interface for easy configuration with browser
Telegram integration (v1.2+)

I’m putting one of these together for myself. if it’s ok, I could offer kits for those who want one, since I’ve got to buy extras of a lot of things anyway. with and without board assembly. with and without printed parts or full assembly (if ok)

@shaztech

Go ahead, I just want to be credited, and if someone want to "Buy me a coffee" I'd be glad ;) Also check the new "User manual" for the operation of the device (Software part).

I would be interested in the electronics package. I can do all the assembly and soldering, but if you have to order in quantity, we can reduce some waste by getting together on this. Or just let me reimburse you for a portion of whatever you have extra, and I can source the rest. I know it costs a lot more to have 1 printed PCB VS doing them in larger qty. LMK what you think.

@cohalloran_123

hi, add me for electronic parts kit, that will make the whole thing easier. 3D printer parts not a problem can eventually print those off. let me know. thx 👍

@loafer_coyote0b

I don’t really need this but just commenting to say how impressive the engineering is behind this project. hopefully we’ll see more from you!

@shaztech

Thanks, I have some projects on thingiverse if you want to see, but I'm new here, just bought a P1S and 2 AMS a couple weeks ago.

I noticed the piece the prevents reverse rotation likes to bind. I greased the inside with some food safe grease and that worked, but I’d recommend a block next to it to prevent it from trying to rotate. as an aside, I also found it unnecessary to secure to PCB for the tray and somewhat annoying to do so, so I’m leaving mine free floating. they are held very securely by the header slots in the body and lid.

The designer has replied

@shaztech

Like that ?

@jsondag

Boosted

That should do it. just don’t fillet the edges adjacent to the sliding piece. can’t tell in your render if they are.

@shaztech

Replying to @jsondag :

No I didn't fillet inside. The new profile is up.

The 5/8” washers from Menards are just a tad too big. had to grind a bit of a flat on one side. Also needs 31 of them.

@shaztech

Can I have the mesurements of thoses washers (Ø inside and outside). I've used Gr.8 washers we have at my job.

@jsondag

44.8mm OD 17.6mm ID 2.2-2.4mm thickness.

@shaztech

Replying to @jsondag :

I've adjusted the 2 bases so larger washers like that can fit :)

Hi @shaztech, I had an instance where one tray only moved 1/2 of a slot. I had to open it up and do some surgery to get the tray to turn 1/2 spot to get it back in sync. The tray was almost full of a mixture of tablets, so doing it without spilling contents was a fun challenge. Maybe a 'single advance' button could be added to the tray config page? Just an idea. Not critical and just basically a convenience option.

The designer has replied

@shaztech

Do you have a photo of your mechanism ? I've modified the arm not long ago as some servo's are taller, and there was an interference with the servo and the arm. Please check you have the latest model.

@SerialHobbiest

Replying to @shaztech :

Here is one of the trays. I’m not sure if this is the one that only moved 1/2 space. but all trays were printed with the same models.

@shaztech

Replying to @SerialHobbiest :

The head on the 3 screws on the arm seems tall. Maybe they are interfering with the cover. Also check that your torsion spring is not giving too much pressure on the tray. Mine is really smaller.

Boards screens and some other goodies have arrived. Hopefully I’ll be ready to start shipping kits soon.

Wow

@Zoobert

Amazing. Thanks for your contribution, dude. You're elevating the level of quality to what's in open source by leaps and bounds. Thank you for taking your time and giving it to everyone.

came out great

Ich habe. Allerdings wäre der Versand nach Deutschland wahrscheinlich zu teuer. $20 USD forgive my poor German.

@silkelang7

das freut mich von Ihnen zu hören ja das wäre zu teuer was hätten wir denn noch für eine Lösung???

I have kits available for those of us in the US to make things cheaper, since much of this is much more expensive in small quantities and I’ll have left over parts from making my own. These will be my prices to start. If there is greater interest I can bring costs down a bit with bulk orders. keep in mind the parts of qty 10 would just be per tray prices, depending on how many trays you plan to print. Some parts are still on order in limited quantities, and will be a week or two to ship. get your order in now to get on the list. Pick only the parts you need. you can buy from me as many or few parts as you need. shipping is $6 to the continental US. please PM me if interested. Thanks. you may also email me at 09-snakes.timbres@icloud.com This email address could change if it starts to get a lot of spam. I’ll update here if it does.
