i went to the dollar store today

i got a pill organizer

im going to make it smart!

$5 BOM

THT components so its easy to assemble

im starting with taking measurements

it took so long for some reason

but i got it done

ive never used calipers before

i always just use a GrabCAD model

i got calipers from OpenSauce

so ill just use those

i also needed to use rulers because calipers were too small

test print time!

it was originally bigger, but Raygen told me to make it 1mm tall

so i did that!

first is too tall but not wide enough

changed dimensions a little bit

hopefully it works this time

2nd one didn’t work

3rd works but not ideal

4th ones the charm

ok it works

could be a bit wider but im done with test prints

ok i need to figure out where to put LEDs

uhhh ill just work on KiCAD rn

this is going to require A LOT of prototyping

i’ve been trying to find a kicad model for so long

i do not want to make my own kicad model

looks like i cant use THT neopixels

ill just use RGB leds

ok looks like i can’t do THT

thats unfortunate
