#BarBot

This is what you can do with an open/local home automation ecosystem.
This took me 15 minutes: the light turns purple when @barbot is pouring a drink and green when it's done.
Here's some more info on my home automation setup that makes this possible: https://aaronparecki.com/home-automation/

Had to do some surgery on #BarBot today since the SD card in the raspberry pi finally failed. Two years isn't a bad run for a card tho!

I forgot that I had run out of Campari but my cocktail robot was already pouring a Boulevardier so I swapped the Campari tube for Zwack and now I have a cocktail that is not what I was looking forward to but is okay #whiningontheyacht

My robot cocktail maker now posts the drink it just made to my website, as well as records it in #ynab thanks to their new API! #barbot #quantifiedself #automation #manualtilithurts #ithurtssogood @youneedabudget

This is fantastic! Looking forward to importing some of these into BarBot! https://aaronparecki.com/2017/02/26/18/day-68-barbot-recipes

It has been brought to my attention that I need to add support for the Payment Request API to my BarBot. #indiewebcamp

This cocktail-making robot blows my #BarBot out of the water, but hey, my BarBot lives in my apartment and was also much cheaper! #vegas #tipsyrobot #robotbartender

Day 68: h-recipe Import for BarBot #100DaysOfIndieWeb
I've been putting the finishing touches on my robot that can mix cocktails over the last few weeks.continue reading... -
Some pictures of my progress on BarBot today! 🍸🤖
I ran the tubes through the pumps, and up the top to form a faucet. I tested them all with water. The nice part of this design is all of the electronics are suspended above the liquor bottles, so I don't have to worry about any drops falling onto the circuits.
I formed the faucet shape by bending a wire to the shape I wanted, and clamping it to the cabinet with a wide washer. I ran the tubes along the wire and ziptied them.

Look at that! First pump installed and successfully pumped exactly half an ounce! #barbot

After a few setbacks and trying out various combinations of components, I finally have all 16 pumps being controlled from this Arduino! I ended up getting a new Arduino that has enough pins to drive the relays directly instead of going through a serial expander board which was causing me problems. I also abandoned the Darlington arrays in favor of these relay boards that have all the relay isolation stuff done for me. This also keeps the 5v Arduino and 12v pump power supplies completely separate, which I feel much more comfortable about. Next step is to mount this into my cabinet and hook up the tubing! Then time to get to work on the recipe database! #barbot
