Pill Bottle Tracker — it knows when the bottle is missing.

Electronics final. PBT (Pill Bottle Tracker) tracks when a pill bottle is removed from its stand, counts how many times the bottle is removed, and vibrates when the bottle is missing over an extended period of time.

Learned Arduino IDE with C++ coding, powered by a Raspberry Pi Pico 2W.

How it works
  1. I.Bottle rests on a sensing stand.
  2. II.Removal event registers; counter increments.
  3. III.If the bottle stays off too long, the device vibrates as a reminder.
