Summer has arrived in the very hot area of the Mid-Atlantic. Although we get 30+ inches, sometimes 50+ a year, we also always have 5 100+ days and nearly all days are above 90 F with at least 40% humidity. You'd never know from a map. Anyways, to my point.
Like most teenagers, I want more money. (Particulary video games, electronic parts, and most importantly, airsoft gear.) So, instead of sitting outside seven hours every day all summer selling lemonade, and making very little money, and having the most boring summer going into highschool. I am attempting to make a full-auto lemonade machine. This way, I put signs on my road to turn off, and then they can get a refreshing cup of lemonade while I'm at the mall or at a camp.
So, I've come up with a design, with a large water resevoir, connected to some electronic valve(electronic sprinker valve? are these cheap? or some type of electronic liquid valve, and do the same with a highly concentrated lemon mixture, and hook both up to maybe a PIC microcontroller(Can I have a link to a serial programmer) so it can say, run electricty to the water tank for 0.3 seconds, and 0.08 for the lemon mixture. The only thing the customer has to do is take a cup and put it underneath.
A couple questions besides the few up here:
1: Is there any good DIV electronic coin op plans?
2. I know this, but for verification. With a PIC chip, would I need an oscillator or anything else? I doubt it, but not sure. I only have 'duino experience which is out of my price range for this project.
Thanks and sorry for all the questions
