The Big Red Juicer
By: Victor Liu & Michael Yu
Introduction Design Results Conclusion Appendix
Introduction
The Juicer is a wirelessly controlled, programmable juice maker which will mix each ingredient of a recipe to the exact proportions every time.
The Juicer will take a recipe selection serially via either the keyboard or the wireless remote and dispense the juices into the cup below. Force and Photo sensors are incorporated to control the precise pouring. Wireless communication is controlled with two microcontrollers operating at a frequency of 433 MHz. All of this is housed by a big red frame custom made from 4130 steel.
High Level Design
Imagine hosting a dinner party where you'll never have to get up and get drinks for your guests. The guests can simply enter their choice at the Juicer base station or you could wirelessly send their selection and have it ready for them to pick up.
The creation of the Juicer came from a combination of things.
We wanted:
• To create something that we will use after the course is over
• Something that would entertain and impress friends when they saw it
• To create a project that blends electronics and mechanics
• To apply our engineering skills while having some fun
