Week 1 (1/23 - 1/29)
Formulate group and brainstorm about project ideas. We decided to replicate a beer pouring machine on youtube.
Week 2 (1/30 - 2/5)
We met with Natalie (TA) to help us straighten the project objective, determine several potential challenges and write out the project proposal. We researched about the specific mechanism to control tilt angles as it was not clearly shown in the video It was decided that we use two 90 degrees lever, each for soda bottle and glassware, tied with a fishing line connected to a spool on a step motor to control the tilt angle (Figure 1). The start for the system is controlled by a push button and the stop pouring signal should be decided by laser detection. Arduino was found to be useful in the process in controlling this process. For a potentially successful project, the budget was determined after objective and challenges were identified.
Week 3
Distance Sensor VS color sensor VS laser sensor VS weight sensor VS liquid level sensor
- add link for each **
- make decision
