Cleaned and replaced a bunch of wiring that was using jumpers to something a little better. Rewrote the arduino code to allow all bottles to pour at once and stop when needed instead of a bottle at a time.
The pressure system just didnt work out. Swapping to pumps. I picked all of them up last month and got them cleaned and ready to start using. I had to swap out the quick connects on one side of the valves so now they are regular barbs. I left the quick connects on the spout side since I like that…
Got those pumps a few weeks ago. Tried to test them out but they just totally fail for my needs. Pump has to be primed with liquid to get it going and then once power is cut off, the liquid drains out of the tubing back in to the bottle. No way I could see to get a consistant flow or measurment…
Got some more time to finish up the electrical stuff. Mounted and wired up the boards and tested it out. Everything is working except for number 3. Check out the video of it running through a test cycle.
I finally got my board from pcbuniverse.com. It looks pretty cool. I had most of the components to try and test it out but had to make a run to radioshack since the TIP31 Transistors still havent came in so just bought a couple. Soldered everything in and tested it out and works perfect…
I was having issues with the relay board and just started to get horrible trying to fix it so I decided to get it professionally designed and manufactured. I used vworker.com like last time. The guy did a real good job and just made it 8 per board to make it a little modular. Sent it out to a…
