Zizzle's Brewbot

[goomboogo]

In a somewhat controversial move, you will all be surprised to learn that I've elected not to do lots of 3D cad drawings, purchase masses of gear, have a 43 day schedule, or build a 3D printer for my brewbot mk2.

The design is pretty simple and I made good progress in one sunday's worth of effort so far.

Controversial - no. Crazy - yes. You've got it all wrong. More talk, less action. And not even a mention of naked beer drinking ladies.

You say that like it is a good thing.

I do have a soft spot for CAD and overzealous purchases AND alien masks ... :lol:

hey Ziggle,
what sort of processor you using to run this little beast ?

cheers,

It's using a Renesas RX62N dev kit board. Actually for a design competition.

http://www.renesasrulz.com/community/rx-contest

It's a pretty sweet board. Especially for free. Waiting for the free wifi add-on board to show up now too.

Total overkill for the brewbot.

I will be able to run a webserver on there and have some pretty graphs of the mash tho.

Plus the obligatory iPhone control.

BTW, interesting misspelling.

It looks like its all coming together for you, Its been an interesting read even though
some of the electronics talk goes over my head.
Keep the updates coming.
thanks

Well done Zizzle - hope you win the competition! Who would have thought you could get this far without a 3-d printer.
