This project took me about 1.5 year from idea to final product (mostly because I had other stuff to do).
Now, when I'm having a party I don't need to worry about someone having an empty glass - this machine is a total gamechanger, and also brings a lot of joy to my friends.
How it's made:
It's a rather simple device - there are 9 peristaltic pumps controlled by Rapsberry Pi Zero W using a standard mosfet (using 12V). To make this happen I designed a PCB for all this stuff to make things easier for connecting and debugging.
There is also a Waveshare 7 inch LCD display with touchscreen connected to RPI.
Everything is powerd via 12V/2A power supply.
Enclosure is made from 10mm wood in white.
Code:
Code was written in python by my wife - she also made the whole GUI.
How long does it take to make a drink:
Depending on a drink - varying from 45 to 60 seconds.
Which drinks can it make:
- Cuba Libre
- Mojito
- Aperol Spritz
- Sex on the beach
Very nicely done. I've seen similar efforts in this direction, but this seems pretty clean. Are you going to make the details/files available?
