These past few weeks I’ve been quite busy with all sorts of SCABMS business… from development to logistics.
I finished up the search feature on the Drink Menu. This allows for the user, via the onScreen keyboard, to limit the drink list dynamically as they type to fit their search string. This limiting is based on […]

I’m writing this week about our seeming lack in progress in our hardware development. While we didn’t get all of the hardware configured as we’d hoped… we did make quite the impressive prototype of what the cap assembly will ultimately be as well as a rough prototype of the holding apparatus (now to find a […]
Project Pictures, Finally!

This is a rudimentary mock-up for the bottle bracket system that we’re going to use. We haven’t decided whether we’re going to stick with wood or get some metal brackets for when it is in the fridge. Derek will probably be able to elaborate a lot more on everything to do with the […]
Progress is a warm gun…

This week my task was to build a four valve prototype to test the pressure drop when multiple lines come into the picture. This task isn’t quite resolved for the following reasons.
I was quite ill most of last week
I was waiting on a part shipment (that came friday)
Said part shipment had a wrong part that […]
A new prototype is “born”
February 11, 2008 – 9:44 am
This week I took two tasks upon myself… first being to use PHP to pass arguments to the C code developed by Dave and second to mockup a prototype using a two valve configuration.
PHP Passing
On passing values and arguments to the C code: This task was relatively straight forward, as I thought it would be. […]
Prototyping: A functional exploration
February 4, 2008 – 9:17 am
The mission that was set before Dave and myself this week was to create a functional prototype of our system interfacing with the valves through the relay and to actually control the flow of liquid using our CO2 powered system.
Tube Coupling, the finer points
The first task was to find fittings and or couplings to attach […]
