We went ahead and decided to place a second order for additional peristaltic pumps. This purchase still leaves us well under our budget and the additional pumps will double the pouring rate of our liquids. Currently, our drink dispensing portion takes around 2 minutes, so these additional pumps will help speed up the dispensing process.
In addition, Bluetooth was completed this week. We now have a solid, established connection between our iOS application and the ELEGOO Mega. This will allow us to actually create drinks ordered by the user, all that remains to be coded is software that tells the moving platform to move and connecting the software with the mechanical and hardware components.
