Ricarduino is a robot bartender which mixes cocktails for you !

It's a java web application designed to run on a Raspberry Pi and control actuators through his GPIO.

Features

• List of cocktails with picture, description, ingredients etc.
• You can choose your type/size of glass
• You can adapt the recipe to your taste
• It automatically define how many times each actuator need to be operated in order to get the right amount of each ingredient of the recipe depending on the glass size

Description

Ricarduino is developed with Cuba Studio and need a PostgreSQL database. It uses the Pi4J library to control the GPIO of the Raspberry. It's designed to control Linear Actuators which in turn will push Bar Optics to dispense the ingredients. So each ingredient is linked to an actuator which has GPIO number and optic size properties.

About the name

At the beginning it was supposed to be a simpler project supposed to dispense only Ricard with an arduino : Ricard(ard)uino.

Todo

• Generify the type of actuator (pumps instead of optics for example)
• Material design !

ricarduino's Issues

Change FileStorage location (images)

Images are lost after a project properties modification.
Try to put them on the NAS ?
Cf. https://doc.cuba-platform.com/manual-6.9/file_storage_impl.html

The "Tout à l'égout" cocktail

Add a cocktail composed of randomly selected ingredients (for exemple 2 alcools + 1 sirop + 1 of water/coke...)

Catégorie « Low calories »

Random cocktail !

Add a button which pour a cocktail randomly selected in the list of available cocktails.

Service in shaker

Hack Cora Drive to get Ricard for free

Progress bar when pouring cocktail

Popup asking to put the right type of glace

When you click the 'Drink it' button, ask the user to put the correct glass.

Check if a glass is present with HC-SR04

Review the Readme.md + add pictures

Add a votation system

Implement Pi4J library

Liste des ingrédients à acheter

Take into account the actuator size when pourring cocktail

Add Siri support

Priming system using the weight

Using weight : save the starting weight of the empty glass, then, for each line, run the pump until the weight increase : lines are primed.
Or using predefind volume : set a 'priming volume' for each actuator wich depends on the tube line lenght

Filter cocktails on available ingredients

Prevent 2 cocktails at the same time

Material design !!

Generify the type of actuator (pumps instead of optics for example)

Prevent pouring a cocktail with a missing ingredient

Change the methode to control GPIO

Instead of using direct access to the GPIO with Pi4J, use a REST API in between.

It will allow to split the actuator part (Raspberry + REST API) from the controler part (Web server + Ricarduino).

Idea : use node-red to build the REST API. (https://flows.nodered.org/flow/e32f2b942bce77ef6079c0642b93c036)

Ingredients duplication when serving cocktail

Play music while pourring cocktail

Test https://www.outsystems.com framework

See if https://www.outsystems.com framework generates a more 'modern' UI and still allow easy custom code (no java ?!)

Add a gpio test methode + according screen

Parameters :

• gpio number
• duration high
• iterations
• time between iterations
