Medicine Man - Medicine Proverbs

Exhibited at the Newcastle (UK) Maker Faire 2009.

Administer a variety proverbial cures and see if the patient recovers. Includes: an apple a day keeps the doctor away, laughter is the best medicine and time is a great healer. The patient has a variety of reactions he can give, by changing the expression on his face and making sounds.

Each cure is contained within a jar, identified with an RFID tag, such that when it is shown the patient he can react. The system contains two Arduino boards, with a waveshield, RFID tag reader and stepper motor driver.
