The Drinkinator - The Portable Party Bartender!

Drinking is entertaining and this tutorial by Instructables can upgrade your level of party mode. But drinking comes with certain responsibility and therefore make sure your actions remain under law and most important, “don’t drink and drive”. To begin with the Hardware section to construct Drinkinator, you will need Pump Electronics – aka Drinkzilla, Arduino mount, 1 white funnel (bpa free!), Power bar, Interface – Drinkinator, Raspberry pi 2, Lightshow – Lightzilla, Neopixel ring and other important tools and wood frames.

The Software List contain Pi OS/Programs, Arduino Library and Development – Pi. The project is simple but lengthy, hence maintain patience while working. The complete tutorial is broken down into sections like geekduino, pumps, and programming. Get the Drinkzilla program up and running and use the serial monitor in the IDE to send test commands.

Once electronics work rightly, start building a frame/case. Start with Pi, touchscreen and get it running, which is followed by Kivy- run the demo program and Kivy – run the Drinkinator program. Once everything works perfectly, confront the neopixel project. A second Arduino can keep this project simple. All this process is further broken down into Beta test, Usage, Storage and cleaning.

Now, assemble the pumps with the help of this particular guide. Build all the spouts and put the pumps /spouts on a workbench board like in shotbot video. Put in tubing, then label the pumps 0-11. With the help of the Drinkzilla file as a guide, plug each pump into the appropriate pin. This is followed by plugging the squid cables into each pump and then plug the power cables into the squids. Affix geekduino to sensor shield and use Arduino IDE to upload the drinkzilla sketch to the geekduino.

Now, in the next step, Pump Hardware is tested. It starts with testing of Rig and followed by testing just the pump and then testing pump with geekduino. After integration of the pumps, tackle constructing the case. Then, set Up the Drinkinator Program on the Raspberry Pi and then perform an Integration Testing.
