![]() In this Instructable I will highlight some of the build process so that you have a good idea of what needs to be done. We have detailed plans and assembly instructions and the Arduino source code available on the web atĪnd the complete package of instructions and software is included in the last step of this Instructable. And now we want to share the Pill Reminder with the world through this Instructable. We decided early on to share our final designs with the world using one of the Creative Commons licenses. She was 100% compliant! It's now been two months and his mother continues to take her pills as she should. ![]() Each week after that he checked and found that his mother was taking her pills twice a day as she should! There were no more cases of double-dosing or forgetting to take them. Bob set up his mother with one of the first units. ![]() Six months and many prototypes later, the Pill Reminder was born. If you make two sets of electronics, I'll make two cases and we can trade." Smiling at each other we started a great collaboration. I've been a member of TechShop for several years and have learned to use a number of the sophisticated computer controlled fabrication machines that they have for members to use. I can make the electronics, but I don't have a way to make a case for the project." Bob is a retired electrical engineer and said to the group, "I have an idea for a device to help elderly people keep on their medicine schedule. Each week Bob found that his mother had either forgotten to take her pills one day, or she had run out too soon because she had double-dosed. Bob spoke up to describe a problem his elderly mother was having - she couldn't remember to take her medicines on time every day. We were going around the table, each taking a turn to talk about projects we'd like to do. Back in January 2014 I was at a meetup of Baby Boomer Makers at TechShop in San Carlos, California.
