blend it!

ESP32 microcontroller driving 8 relay-controlled pumps, communicating via MQTT with a Next.js application. Select a recipe, trigger dispensing, get a drink.

The 3D render of the machine was generated with AI — designed and visualized entirely without a 3D artist. Fully functional prototype built from scratch with two collaborators.
