The official twitter for the BME division of EPICS. The team is currently working on four projects: Auto CPR, Pill Minder, VM Cable System, and Flappy Boiler.
The Pill Minder team is preparing to print their newest prototype iteration. The are looking forward to putting this design to the test in the last weeks of the semester!
Flappy Boiler is getting ready to deliver this semester! We have created a gaming case setup for easy portability. We also tested our game with children before break.
Our Mid Semester Design Review went great today! Thanks so much to our reviewers for attending and giving feedback. We look forward to working hard the remainder of this semester.
The Pill Minder team is constructing new iterations of the dial piece created last semester in order to evaluate various spring configurations this week.
The Vital Machine Cable System is a new project this semester and the team is starting off strong by establishing tasks and brainstorming solutions for cables hanging from vital machines! @EPICSPurdue#EPICSBME
Flappy Boiler is a partnership with Imagination Station in Lafayette, IN to promote kids' interest in BME. A Purdue-themed Flappy game controlled by arm movement, the project has made huge steps toward software and hardware finalization this semester thanks to hard work from all.
The Pill Minder team is currently developing a prototype for a custom locking mechanism. The lock will be a two-factor mechanism that utilizes springs to return the Pill Minder to its locked state. The team is hoping to have functional design printed by the end of the semester.
