Arduino-based tracking of all bottles prepared for your baby
Features
- Keeps track of all bottles served to your baby
- Automatic calculation of the overall volume and powder mass consumed
within the last 24 hours - Takes the volume added by the milk powder into account when
calculating the total consumption (let's not be too critical with them) - Easy and menu-based design
- Minimal power consumption via Arduino and automatic power off of the
LCD display
Overview
bottler is an Arduino-based software which helps you keep track of
all the bottles you prepared for your infant (and helps you with the
paranoia it didn't drank enough again).
It is built on a couple of different view showing
- a detailed view of each bottle consisting (from top-left to
bottom-right) of the spoons used, the remaining volume, the original
volume, and the time the bottle was prepared at - a menu allowing you to switch between the different views
- a view to add a new bottle
- a view displaying the total consumption within 24hours in terms of
volume and mass of milk powder - a view to set the local time in case no RTC chip is present
The navigation is done by five buttons.
- the leftmost is opening the menu
- the second one from the left is used to go back to the previous
view - with the current bottle view being the default one - and to
cancel an insertion - the rightmost is used to select a view and to confirm an insertion
- the two vertically arranged ones are used to increase/decrease a
value and to navigate the menu and bottle lists
Requirements
The software was tested on
- Arduino Uno (unfortunately the sketch is to large for this version
to include the RTC library) - Arduino Mega 2540
in combination with a
- LCD Keypad shield
- a custom shield including an additional RTC1307 chips + battery and
support to control the backlight of the LCD display using a digital
pin of the Arduino
