Fill 'Er Up

M

Hey folks! Thanks for bearing with me while catching up after this work week. I'm about 2-3 days behind from where I wanted to be today. I will continue grinding through the day tomorrow and Monday and we should be all caught up by then. Let's get to it!

Adding Beans

Here is a quick video showing how to fill up Mugsy's bean hopper. The lid on this unit does not have the magnetic connectors so getting it back on was a bit wonky. The "Current Selection" is updated using the built in barcode scanner.

I was hoping to have two additional videos today, one showing how to fill the water and one showing a brew cycle using the new recipe interface, but I was not able to get to it. The main issue is that my dev Mugsy (#000) is often in parts as I am always testing different sections while coding or designing new parts. I had to spend a couple of hours updating some wiring so I was not able to finish in time to record the other vids.

I will finish those two videos up tomorrow at some point. Depending on timing they may go out late night or Monday.

Build Manual

Number one priority right now is finishing up the kit's build manual. I have decided to start using CAD in addition to the original photos shown in earlier updates. CAD is not only faster and easier to set up than a bunch of individual shoots, but I think it provides a clearer representation of assembly details.

Here are a couple of examples without the instructional text overlays:

Other Bits

  • I have about 15 emails I have not gotten a chance to respond to. If yours is one of them, I'll get to you no later than tomorrow.

  • I haven't hit Cloud Control yet but will be hitting it once I complete the remaining build manual renders tomorrow. Shooting for a Monday/Tuesday release.

  • I need to do another "Where are we at?" shipping update. This will be separate from the weekly update. Going to save it for Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning.

  • I've been pretty much MIA since finishing up the Nike installation on Friday as it really kicked my ass. I will be back online and available on the Discord channel and social accounts tomorrow starting around 1 or 2 pm. Looking forward to catching up with everyone and handling any questions or requests I may have missed.

Ok, thats it for now! Thanks and have a great night!

Cheers,
