Designed and built the full circle for the garnish rotational motor to take place
Wrote out the Arduino code to operate this rotational motor
Integrated the Arduino code with Python so that whenever we are ready to fully integrate this into the website, it will rather seamless.
Here is a video of the garnish wheel motor rotating based on various input angles specified by Python. Here for testing purposes I just inputed various angles on the terminal but for the actual WebApp, the particular angle will be send based on the drink selection by the user. You can also see that it will always take the shortest path given the specific angle Video Link
Also, started building the drink pouring structure that will hold the drinks up.
Next Week Deliverables
Integrate the working garnish wheel selection with Rohan’s Solenoidal valve and Howard’s Robotic Arm
Build the structure that will hold all of the drinks up in the Woodshop
Reviewed and edited the Design Document with the appropriate schematics of valve attachement and connection to arduino
Designed the circuitry for the connection between the Arduino and the solenoid valves
Built the initial setup of tubing connection to appropriate solenoid valves and began planning out types of drinks and bottle sizes
Next Week Deliverables
Gather all of the parts needed for the circuit (including potentiometer, capacitors, motor driver) and begin testing different values for them respectively
Buy appropriate drink containers and attach tubing to them
Begin testing electronic valve openings and liquid control flow for different values
