Aplications and implications
What will it do?
A parallel water dispenser for social events, this machine will able when four
people stay around the machine.
Who's done what beforehand?
Soda companies has their own machine to dispense soda in singular glasses. These can not distribute in parallel.
What materials and components will be required?
The materials to complete this project are:
- (1) bluetooth HC-05
- (2) fabduino
- (1)H-bridge
- (4) IR sensor
- (1) my IR sensor
- (2) expansion board
- (1) FTDI wire
- (1) pump water
- (1) 9v dc power supply
How much will it cost?

What part and systems will be made?
The least table show the materials that we will use to make. Only, we will make
a circuits as fabduino, H-bridge, valve in 3D printing
and expansion boards.
What processes will be used?
I will use:
- 3d printing
- Milling and soldering PCB
- Laser cut
What tasks need to be completed?
The tasks to be complete are:
- Chassis: modify the structure to add mobile phone in the front.
- Electronic Development: design and build a PCB to distribute the signals between
fabduino, bluetooth, input sensors and power supply.
- App programming: create a simple algorithm to able the machine
to distribute drink through bluetooth.
- Sensor and output programming: we will make a program that can read sensors and send actions to output devices.
What questions need to be answered?
The questios to answer are:
- How to minimize wires?
- How to communicate two fabduinos?
- How to control the machine with android app through bluetooth?
What is the schedule?
The new schedule is:
- Structure: 1 days
- Electronic Development: 5 days
- 3D printing: 1 day
- APP programming: 1 day
- Integration: 1 day
How will it be evaluated?
The machine can distribute water in parallel way to people around the machine
