Have you ever feel frustrated having to clean up beer residues all over the table after a party? We are here to help. 'Cheers' is a automated beer pouring machine that takes any open bottled beer and pour it into any kind of glassware without spilling the foam. 'Cheers' will tilt your beer bottle and glass to a perfect angle towards each other for the pouring mechanism to occur and will adjust angles as more beer accumulate in the glassware. The mechanism will stop after the beer height reached your desired level and voila, Cheers!

Have you ever feel frustrated that the soda liquid line always rises higher than your expectation that it spilled all over your table? We are here to help. 'Cheers' is a automated soda pouring machine that takes a bottled soda and pour it into glassware without spilling the fizz. It utilizes 3D printing techniques for contructing the mechanical framework and Auduina to control the system. 'Cheers' tilts your soda bottle and glass to a perfect angle towards each other for the pouring mechanism to occur and will adjust angles as more soda accumulate in the glassware. The mechanism will stop after the beer height reached your desired level and voila, Cheers!

Overview

Have you ever feel frustrated that the soda liquid line always rises higher than your expectation that it spilled all over your table? We are here to help. 'Cheers' is a automated soda pouring machine that takes a bottled soda and pour it into glassware without spilling the fizz. It utilizes 3D printing techniques for contructing the mechanical framework and Auduina to control the system. 'Cheers' tilts your soda bottle and glass to a perfect angle towards each other for the pouring mechanism to occur and will adjust angles as more soda accumulate in the glassware. The mechanism will stop after the beer height reached your desired level and voila, Cheers!

Objective

  1. Replicate the project found on youtube but replace the beer bottle with soda glass bottle and a correct size glassware. The will also be no bottle rotating mechanism. The control for tilting mechanism will be changed to a pulley rope system outlined in Figure 1.
  2. Implementation of radar detector to correctly determine the start and stop using Arduino unit.
  3. The glassware will tilt twice, the first time to fill the glassware with soda until the laser line and then tilt back a little. After the CO2 fizzing ends and liquid level drops, the system will tilt the glassware for a second time to completely fill the glassware without spilling.
  4. Implement a control algorithm for a motor system that takes the laser signal as input and adjusts the tilt angle.
