KegDroid: the mobile phone with Android dispenses beer with Arduino

Maybe the phones of the future "will also make the coffee," but right now we have to make the technology available that allows up to us to drink beer. How? Simple, with KegDroid, a beer dispenser automatically controlled by an Android tablet.
The project combines three of the passions of the geek world: Android, Arduino, and, of course, beer! To create the KegDroid developers have created a mega android which is placed inside the controller Arduino programmed for the occasion.

The interface used is the one with the Android tablet that scans information from an NFC reader (using a card that enables the machine) and give us a screen selection of beers of the day and allows you to set the amount delivered.
The beer "flows" from the foot of the droid (connected to the refrigeration machine with the barrels) and the spilling of the mount arms. Then simply place the glass, open the tap and choose the amount of beer to be dispensed with progress shown in real time on screen.

Obviously the system can be used with any drink and micro payments via NFC-enabled ... we will see the birth Android bars in the future?
