One challenge with #careGiving / being a #careGiver is keeping #appointments straight. Both for the caregivers, and the person being cared for. Especially when there is #memoryLoss at play.

Back in November I started a Status Board project with a #raspberryPi 2B. After several iterations and incorporating user feedback, #Grandma has enjoyed having up-to-date info. #Mom has liked the ease of #automation. And I get to #nerd out a bit.

Version 1 of status board; simple excel worksheet with additional informational overlays, updated color scheme to look nicer
Version 2 of status board; table generated with powershell and color scheme updated for low vision (high contrast)

@Raspberry_Pi Cheers! Old hardware doesn’t have to die, this little 2B has been around the block a few times now! 😀

I found an entire 4B I inexplicably put inside a very simple robot kit years ago. Overkill.
