smart-bartender's Issues

ImportError: No module named gaugette.ssd1306

Hello,
I'm a beginner with all of this and installed everything cording to the instructions but i'm getting the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "bartender.py", line 1, in
import gaugette.ssd1306
ImportError: No module named gaugette.ssd1306

what did I missed?
thanks!

Pours drinks 2 times

The bartender pours one drink than finishes the progress but without any extra input it pours a second drink. It's not possible to do anything between those two processes. On some boots of the Pi it does only pour one at a time but that's gone on the next restart.

nokia 5110 screen

Hi

I would like to use an in-expensive nokia 5110 screen.
Has anyone done this, if so. Can you please share the code.
If not, what would need to change in the python script to get this done.

This is a better option for guys like me living in 3rd world countries where some of these electronics are very expensive or not available at all. it will also add value to the project by expanding on options around electronics to use to customize the project.

Thanks
Robert

LEDs not working

I have seen a lot of people talk about how they chose to not include the LED lights to swirl when the drink is being poured. I decided to make a kaleidoscope mirror for the drink to sit on. Unfortunately, the lights fail to activate when the drink pour is activated. I've double checked the pins, but beyond that I'm not sure where else to start trouble shooting.

OLED Screen not working

I have yet to get my OLED screen to work. I have tried two different OLEDs; Adafruit and a generic brand. Admittedly, both screens have cracked at the bottom left while installing them but where they cracked seem to be inconsequential. Since I've gone through two of them I can't help but think that something else is wrong.

i2c OLED display

how would i configure this to use a 4pin i2c display?

Power Distribution Board Instead of Breadboard

In the wiring diagram it shows that they used a bread board for power distribution instead of the 5V Power Distribution board shown in the parts list. I just need some help figuring out how to wire the power distribution like they do in the video and not the bread board.

Step Down Converter Heating Up

Hello all! I am having a problem where the DC to DC step down converter (5V regulator in the schematic) is getting very hot when I plug in the power. Any suggestions on what the problem might be?

Not Booting When 3v3 Pin is connected

I have everything wired according to the circuit diagram. The only differences are the type of oled screen I have and I also don't have an LED strip. The oled screen has only four pins. When I have everything except the 3v3 pin connected to the pi, it boots fine. As soon as I connect it, it turns off, but it still has the red LED. It's a Raspberry Pi 3B+. I can still boot it, just not when that pin is connected.

Is there something I have to install on the Pi in order to make it work?

Problems with buttons

So after testing and researching I found out that there's a problem with the gpio pins detecting false Inputs with momentary switch buttons which leads them into a state of floating and therefore not beeing able to correctly detect the input gut rather detect multiple ones. After changing the code in a way that it doesn't recognise these false inputs I manage to get it to work so that it only pours one at a time but now I got the problem that after some pours the system doesn't recognise any inputs anymore where could be the problem that something like that happens? I will add a link to the changed code.

Interface to communicate with Android App

For a project in university we want to build the bartender project and extend it to be controllable remotely using an Android App.
Unfortunately I am not that experienced with communication and interfaces.
What would you guys suggest on how to implement such a feature?
