How Well It Worked:
Overall our automatic pill dispenser worked very effectively. It was observed that every time the proximity sensor was triggered the program would run through its entirety. The motor successfully aligned the pills in the pill slider most of the time and the solenoids were activated with occasional jamming occurring. The most important thing is that the pill dispenser was activated many times during the day of the presentation, without ever failing to run through the entire process. The apparatus clearly showed that with a given input from a proximity sensor, that the pills can aligned and dispensed.
