Roadmap for demo extensions

[sgbaird]

Liquid-based color matching

The demo I'm planning to design next (with similar instructions, bill of materials, etc.) is a color-matching demo using red/green/blue food coloring dissolved in water and housed in medical IV-style bags, pumped via several peristaltic pumps, with light matching via the existing AS7341 light sensor. I think I can design that one for under $200 and under 2 hours of setup time.

pH optimization of chemicals

From there, I want to purchase a pH sensor and replace the red/green/blue food coloring dyes with other chemicals (I forget which ones specifically, but there are a few manuscripts that do pH optimization). Still probably in the < $200 and < 2 hrs setup, since the only additional materials are the pH sensor, cabling for the pH sensor, and the chemicals.

Powder and solid handling via robotics/computer vision

After that, I want to move to some robotics and computer vision tasks, and if all goes well, implement powder and solid handling. This will probably be ~$600-$800, not sure about the setup time yet, but probably 2-10 hours.

• Solid powder demo (e.g. color-matching) #153

Super keen to see how the powder handling works out!
