The Team

We worked together to research, code, and test our final project. Vicky took the lead on setting up the facial recognition algorithm and integrating it on the PiTFT, while Grace took the lead on the dispensing mechanism and mechanical design. In addition, both members worked on implementing different sections of the GUI. When there were issues, we would work together to debug and bounce ideas off of each other. For the website, each member wrote about the components they worked on, but often added insight in the other sections due to the overlap.
