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.

Still need to enter a bunch of data in the database for the drinks and finish out the rest of the software. What is shown in the video is pretty much all that has been built so far.

With all that said.. Here is another demo.

I know its pouring slow, I need to up the pressure soon. Its not a real recipe either I just plugged in some data to fill the cup.

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.

Put together a little database shell so hopefully can get some code written up to start getting the UI built. And the corking method is still up in the air, might just run with what I got.

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. Ive seen a couple automated drink machines that use pumps, not sure how they worked out since Ive only seen pics.

Any one seen a pump bar machine in action??

Heres a pic of the pumps(P-25A) I got to test:
 

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. Just need to wait for the rest of the parts and I can finish those up.

Im not very happy with the corks still. I attempted last month to create some new ones and they are alot better then the rubbercorks with zipties but these still involve dremeling the plastic and using glue to set the tubes in. The glue also breaks apart becuase if you try to pull them out of the bottle it flexes and doesnt hold. Only thing is they are easy to slide right in and can hold the pressure.

Thinking about just switching over to pumps because finally I found the perfect pumps. All the pumps Ive been finding are to large and just wouldnt work right but found some ones that are used in coffee machines and juice dispensers. Main reason I did the pressure system was to use carbonated liquids but might do a dual system if these work out good. Ordered a couple but still waiting to recieve them in the mail.
