- Web UI for recipe control
- Stepper-driven peristaltic pumps deliver precise, repeatable volume per dispense; flow and temperature sensors provide closed-loop correction against recipe targets
- Safety interlock system prevents operation outside defined parameters; web interface handles recipe programming and real-time monitoring without touching the hardware
- Targeted the same recipe management pattern used in industrial dispensing systems: program once, run repeatedly with consistent output
Outcome Repeatable, high-precision sample production for QA and demonstration.
An assembly-line beverage automation system on an Arduino Mega, stepper motors, and sensor feedback. The goal was repeatable, precise dispensing for QA validation and demonstration.
Stepper-driven peristaltic pumps control fluid volume per dispense with sub-milliliter precision. Flow and temperature sensors feed a closed-loop correction loop against recipe targets. Safety interlocks prevent operation outside defined parameters. A web interface handles recipe programming and real-time monitoring without touching the hardware directly, which is the same pattern as industrial recipe management systems.
