We spent the first couple weeks going over ideas for our house automation idea that we previously wanted to do. After coming to the sad realization that we wouldn't be able to accomplish that without proper electrical knowledge, we began brainstorming other ideas. The conclusion is to go with a robotic drink mixer (explained in my first blog post).
Tentative required items:
- Raspberry Pi (will control all the programming aspects)
- Arduino (will control the hardware)
- Sheet of plywood for the base and top portions to hold the bottles
- Motor to spin the middle axis
- Some kind of bracing to hold the bottles upright
- Solenoid valves to hold the liquid in the bottles. Will open when the Arduino calls their motors to release the valve.
- Screws and misc. to build the station
- Metal pole (axis)
- Wiring
