With less than a month left until the presentation of our bubble tea machine, we now had to assemble the setup so that we could transport and use it easily. We had to ensure that the Arduino Giga and the

In most bubble tea shops, the amount of boba added to each cup is not exact. Instead, it is usually a rough estimate depending on the preferences selected when ordering. It could even be said that no two cups have

Our previous blog post focused on us finding a way to dispense boba; using the Archimedes’ screw pump. However, there were issues that we had to solve before we could truly settle on the auger being our final solution.  

Having resolved the issue of dispensing the liquid components in a consistent manner, we were soon met with our next hurdle: How do we approach dispensing the ‘bubbles’ of our bubble tea? ‘Bubbles’, also known as boba or pearls, are

To tackle the issue of ensuring that the pumps stop dispensing liquid based on their weights, we decided to set a meeting outside of the Making-and-Tinkering Lab for the first time. We gathered at Jayna’s house (our group leader!), ready

While we planned on how to code for the load cell, since our Arduino Giga R1 WiFi board arrived before our load cell was set to arrive, we decided to work on the use of the Arduino IoT cloud first

While we had been using dispensers from the Making and Tinkering lab until now, when our purchased water pumps had been delivered, we had to reconfigure the set up of our circuitry with the new water pumps. First, we had

From honey green milk tea to earl grey milk tea, bubble tea is found in many variations with a multitude of toppings. Our first course of action to make a bubble tea machine was to narrow down the type of

Project Milk and Tea involved creating an automatic coffee and tea dispenser. Such a machine is often available in hawker centres (including the drinks stall in South Spine) and not exactly considered a novel idea. However, since our group did

According to author Moffat Machingura, ‘The first step is the hardest in every journey of dreams.’ It was no different for Project Milk and Tea (MnT). We began the drafting process with a multitude of ideas. From interactive maps to
