kegbot: timeline
the kegerator that drinks for itself
2002-2003 school year
turn 21, live in house with lots of guys. idea surfaces. no time to
build.
august, 2003
no job for a few weeks before grad school, resolve to bild kegbot. write
software first, find and pick up a used fridge and other parts with
hollywood roommates.
december, 2003
first keg comes online! no fancy web interface, temperature sensor is
buggy, and micrcontroller code unreliable. x10 appliance modules for
fridge control. but... it worked! a little.
january 2004 - may 2004
kegbot unplugged, left in neglect. school gets busy. code fixed up a bit, though.
may 22, 2004
keg 1 comes online!
nicer front end, over 50% fewer bugs, new sensors and
relays all around. gunky flowmeter causes some inaccuracy in reading, soon fixed.
june 26, 2004
keg 2!
the future...?
