Abstract

With just about anything and everything being automated or technologized, there remains endless ordinary and mundane objects at easy disposal. An arduino platform was utilized for its many advantages including fast processing and simple interface. The important age-old pub debate of who can chug beer the fastest is to be put to an end with a revolutionary chug meter. To recognize when the beer is lifted up from the coaster to start the timer and when the beer is placed back on the coaster to stop the timer, a force sensing resistor was used. Moreover, the modification of this prototype involves a validation that the beer is being 'chugged' or consumed with the incorporation of an accelerometer to sense that the beer is tilted the entire time after it is lifted from the coaster. © 2018 IEEE.
