Bartendro B7 / B15 Kits Congratulations! You are one of the first owners of a new enabling piece of tech- nology. These precision Bartendro Dispensers and electronics are the same as what go into Bartendro cocktail bots. The appli- cations don’t stop at cocktails though, people have been coming up with lots of ideas from sno-cones to hydroponics. What will you come up with? Share your projects at: www.partyrobotics.com/community/sharing Important Precautions • Not intended for medical use. • Electronics may be sensetive to static dissipation. Observe proper precautions for handling. • Do not “hot-swap” Dispensers while system is powered. • Plug networking devices into Raspberry Pi only. Plugging them into RJ45 connectors on the Router Board will cause damage. • It is not recommended to keep clear tubing immersed in liquid for e x- tended periods of time. • Beige tube (inside the Dispensers) life is approximated to be 500 hours of use. • If storing long term without use, remove beige tubing from dispensers t o extend tube life. • Dispensers may need to be periodically re-calibrated as tubing wears.
