Initial Design of Tool Tracker
this is the initial design of my tool tracker. The goal of this DIY tool tracker is to track the inventory of certain tools (expensive ones). The main audience of this would be robotics teams, or makerspaces, as they deal with frequent use of high end tools. It uses a rsby pi pico W along with limit roller switches on amazon. Its paired with an app that allows one to check the current inventory without actually opening the toolbox.
Future implementations: Add a ID tracker or a toolbox door open detector to have the same functions as snap on tracking toolboxes. Tools are supposed to sit ontop of the holes(which are fitted with the switch) to detect whether they are present or not)
V2 ideas: Make this gridfinity compatable and to work on the app/ntfy code to send notifications to your phone.
if you have any ideas lmk

its pretty cool to see people using Tinkercad still, it’s a really amazing tool for projects like this
