Bartender 2.0: Marry it to a fridge to keep the drinks cool. Add a IR beam sensor to confirm a cup or glass has been loaded before drinks are delivered. Warning system for pumps running dry (out of liquid)?
@omgitsjulian6 жыл бұрын
I would argue that these drinks should be going into a shaker then either stirred or shaken to chill and dilute. The fridge idea, while good; is missing the mark a bit. The margarita mix (to me) is a good indicator that the emphasis is on the project and not the quality of cocktail.

The kind that likes their G&T ice cold even if they forgot to get or make ice. Naturally wouldn't put things inside the refrigerated part that don't belong (brandy, whisky, etc). Unless you mean refridgerating the whole thing, in which case, I agree bad idea, and the Raspberry Pi may not enjoy being iced.

Weight sensor could also be used for measuring out the drinks, rather than running the pumps for a set amount of time like you do with mixing paint colours. Alcohol is 0.79 g/ml so if its 80 proof that (60% * 1.00)x + (40% * 0.79)x where x is the desired millilitres of lets say, vodka :)

I made one of these several years ago using Arduino with a LCD with touch panel. The peristaltic pumps have to low capacity, and i upgraded from 4mm tubing to 6-7 mm tubing. Still slow but did the work a bit faster. I recommend looking into small food graded pumps or even air pressure for a improved model.

Also, if you drill a hole in the Coke cap, put the tubing through it, and then run the pump, it will create a vacuum on the bottle. Without any air backfilling the negative pressure being created, the pump will run the silicon tubing dry and it will eventually melt. You need to drill a second hole in the cap with a tube with a one way valve in it (allowing air in when the pump is running).

Easy with a college-grade small mini-fridge. Just drill a hole in the side of it and run the tubes through that. (Don't forget to hack in a PID loop to the mini-fridge because it's price is cheap but it's thermal regulation typically sucks.) Also, to know that it's running dry: Hack up a scale that the drink sits on. This will also help you understand any irregularity in the fluid flowing at the very beginning of a serving.

A few things I’d do is redesign the whole thing and design it like this: 1. Find or make some sealed dispenser bins (something like 3” wide, 9” deep and 10” tall or something the size of the dispenser area would be that’ll hold like a half to full bottle of Bacardi, etc) sloped to the center for the tube connection, that has a sealed, but removable lid for filling/cleaning. This would prevent fruit flies, etc and can be left filled. 2. Have 4 or 6 on each side of the dispenser part (in the middle) that way you can have one for jack, Bacardi, crown royal, bourbon, triple sec, etc. I’d put a thin black piece of material between each bin with a light smoke front panel in front of all of them and put a white led light above each one. When a drink is selected that uses Bacardi (for example) the light above the Bacardi would light up and you can see it through the front panel. So the ingredients being used lights up. 3. Have a flip up lid over the ingredients bins for filling etc. 4. Have more drink recipes, and include a multi line lcd panel for instructions. For example for a margarita, when selected it would say something like place a shaker filled with ice in the dispenser area, then after it dispenses it would tell you to shake and strain, or place in a blender and pulse, etc. 5. A sensor to detect a glass, etc is in the dispenser area to prevent dispensing without one. 6. Move the electronics into a false back that’s covered to keep them from getting wet, and replace it with a pull out drip tray under the dispenser for spills, over dispensing, etc. 7. Have a selection for size of glass, example for a Long Island iced tea, you can tell it that your using a 6 oz glass and it’ll adjust the portions for that size glass, or using a 12 oz glass, it’d adjust for that. 8. Keep the multi color led lights for the dispenser area. 9. Make a port where you can plug in a computer for servicing/updates via a usb cable, etc to make it easier for updates, etc if needed instead of pulling off the back, etc. 10. Glue the black plastic sheets you used on rather than screwing them on and maybe use a silver metal corner piece to put over the corners. 11. Put rubber feet on the bottom to protect the surface you put the automatic bartender on. 12. An option of selecting drink strength from no alcohol, little, moderate to strong... depending on the persons taste. Just a few things I thought of to take the concept to the next level. Oh and of course google Home/Alexa integration. Something like a diy version of this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qp_LZXqEeMyEfcU

You simply let the pump run for 1 min and the measure the amount thats in the class/bowl and then you know the flowrate and then you code a timer. so lets say it will pump 300 cl in 1 min and you want 25cl, just simply ad a timer that will let the pump run for 5 sec and you will have 25cl. these types of pumps are very consistent and will almost always flow the same amount off liquid/min
@JeremiahHisel6 жыл бұрын
Just omit the funnel... bundle the tubes at the end so they all are above center of glass. The peristaltic pumps use suction so you may get a drip here and there, but nothing you would really notice. The pumps have a very regular flow rate. IE they are rated to move x amount of ml per second, so flow rate isn't really needed just adjust the amount of seconds they are on to determine how much of one liquid you want. I would however not use a peristaltic pump with a carbonated liquid. use a pump to force air into the top of bottle and have another tube at the bottom of the bottle which will then push liquid out of the bottle into the glass. That should help with keeping it carbonated. Not sure how you'd be able to determine the flow rate on that though.

I would add a small scale/load sensor under the glass. This could be used to verify the presence of a glass, notify of empty ingredient bottles, as well as (with a PID loop) measure the liquid volume. Also a raspi is unbelievably overkill for this project. Not a big deal, but a micro-controller such as Arduino would be much more suited, much more reliable, and wouldn't have the boot up time that a raspi has. Although network integration would take a bit more work. But overall I'm super impressed by the end result. The overall build quality and care of work you guys put in was fantastic. I'm sure it was a lot more work than what was shown in the video.

Hey! I've been doing some research for my own Robot Bartender and the different techniques for pumping liquid. There is the Peristaltic Pump which is the most precise but slow and expensive. Option two is using an Air Pump to over-pressure the bottle and with a submerged tube for the liquid to escape from, this is the cheapest option and the speed goes from slow to fast depending on how much you spend on the pump. Option three that I have not seen that much is mounting the bottle high and using a unidirectional Solenoid Valve and letting gravity do the work, speed should be the closest to pouring a drink, this is also a cheap option but require more work to setup and requires an air intake so it might not be the best for sodas. I would love if you could make a video comparing the tree techniques, it would be really helpful and there are no such videos so I think it would be popular.

Just want to preface this comment with a big props to Hacker Shack, this is a very solid build and very well designed and put together. But as with everything, there's room for improvements, so here's a few tips, if you want to replicate this build: It's generally seen as a bad idea to not have a runoff tray under the cup holder. Spills WILL happen and it is much easier to slide out a runoff tray and empty/clean than to replace a wooden platform a few times a year. It's also generally seen as a bad idea to have electronics mounted underneath where liquids are likely to reach, such as under a drink dispenser with only a wooden board (with holes) between the liquid dispenser and socket voltage components. Put a sheet of plastic between the cupholder platform and the electronics, just in case, or move the electronics to the top of the frame. The build is also very rigid, not a lot of flexibility for future repairs or upgrades. Replacing the screws with something like furniture screw-latches will make it easier to disassemble and reassemble in the future. You could also add a hinge to the electronics compartment access hatch, instead of using adhesive tape, as the latter will run out of stickiness after only 2 or 3 removals. You also want to make the top as a lid, not a screwed down fixed part, as you will want to clean out that funnel once in a while. Especially if you use sugary drinks, as those tend to stick and eventually create mould.

This may also help with maintaining the seal for carbonated beverages. It would probably have to be a larger box and base to support the weight but it might provide a nice way to showcase "the well"

do you know what would be better then a menu for selecting a drink? One button per drink.

How about adding a load sensor so that it will only serve the drink if a glass is ready? Also, I'll recreate it to involve the Alexa voice service, and my home automation system so that I can push a button, turn on my fireplace, dim my warm white lights, plays my slow jazz spotify playlist, and makes me an Old fashioned. That's the dream.
