A personal bartender is hard to come by these days. What has the world come to when a maker has to build their own? [Pierre Charlier] can lend you a helping hand vis-à-vis with HardWino, an open-source cocktail maker.
The auto-bar is housed on a six-slot, rotating beverage holder, controlled by an Arduino Mega and accepts drink orders via a TFT screen. Stepper motors and L298 driver boards are supported on 3D printed parts and powered by a standard 12V DC jack. Assembling HardWino is a little involved, so [Charlier] has provided a thorough step-by-step process in the video after the break.

[Charlier] has also kindly included his Arduino code to further facilitate your happy hour. The best part? This is isn’t even the final product; and yet — this functional prototype can already turn the tables on a long day. Whatever your beverage of choice, make sure it stays as hot or cool as you want with the help of this handy coaster.
What next CNC bongs to ease the pain from the injuries inflicted by wayward tattoo robots?
I don’t think I saw it pouring Haterade, Dan.
Clearly you need to use a drug dispensing machine like that just to feel happy, whereas normal people like me can see the funny side of things.
Hmmmmmm… Now that’s an idea I could get behind.
It doesn’t have to be just cocktails…
A customized fruit/vegetable juice mix sounds fun for the weekdays, switches to ‘relaxing beverages’ on the weekend.
You could create the best iced-tea(s) in the neighborhood with this!
