More Pumps and volume of the tubes #13
Comments
Hey Marco, In theory, you could add quite a lot more pumps than ten. But there are some limiting factors:
So to answer the first question regarding the pump count, with the right set up (either one 16-channel relay or 2x8-channel relays) up to 16 pumps could work this way, currently the most limiting factor being the GUI limiting the count to 10. Increasing this number requires some changes in the code base and GUI, I rate this a low to medium work amount. Your screen should probably have a minimum pixel height of 800 pixels to properly display all 16 slots, since Qt is messy sometimes. As a small edit: within the dev branch, there is now support for up to 16 pumps. This will be available within the next v1.6.1 release the next days. Out of my experience, the tube capacity only matters when you run the machine for the first time, or replace an empty bottle. Due to the tubes being quite thin, the fluid stays within the tube after the pump prepared the first cocktail. Usually, the volume within the tubes is not that much (half a meter tube having ~25 ml volume, my machine probably having 10 ml capacity in the whole tube from a pump to the outlet), since the tubes / pumps are quite small. Feel free to follow up on my answer, if there are still some unclear parts. Regards Andre |
Hi Andre ,
very nice project!
but I have a few questions?
Is it possible to add more than ten pumps?
And maybe it is a good feature that you can add the number of ml the pump should try to deliver on pump up? (Tube capacity)
Regards Marco
