Project Presentation

I started the course installing in Windows some software that help me to create websites: macromedia, vim, seamonkey, but none of them was useful to me so in the end, I choose Kompozer because it is simple and fulfilled its purpose.

After this, I installed the Ubuntu. First, I downloaded the image and taped it on a DVD, and then, I chose the option "boot from a USB external hard drive", proceding after that to install the Mercurial smoothly.

The idea of my project was born from an actual real need in my life. My 9 month old son always wakes up in the midle of the night crying for his milk. For this reason I had the idea of creating a machine that allows me to prepare his milk (formula) while I change his diaper, sincronizing this both activities is everything to assure the continiuty of his night sleep. The machine must eject milk, water and vitamins in a bottle that must have sensors that allow me to measure the amount of these ingredients and the final temperature of the preparation, then you must mix with an external movement, this entire process should be activated by a signal from a smarphone.
